The most popular recipes from This Mom's Menu for 2021. This list is the best of the best and is a great place to start if you are new here!
Where do I start with the year 2021? Honestly, I'm not really sure how to feel about it. Was it better than 2020 or just a continuation? Honestly, I think we should all get credit for the past two years. They definitely should not count toward our total!
One positive this year is that I was finally able to get back to a somewhat regular posting schedule after taking off most of 2020. I still need to get back to sending my newsletter, and posting to social media more regularly but all in all, things are getting back to some sort of normal.
After taking such a long break from posting, it's no surprise that most of the recipes in the top 10 are a bit older, but a few newer recipes also made the list!
Top 10 Recipes of 2021
This banana bread has been at the top of these lists for a while now and for good reason! It is so moist and tastes just like traditional banana bread. This recipe also inspired me to create a recipe for banana bread in a mug for a quick craving buster, so be sure to check that one out as well!
This recipe for fried fish is so crisp and flavorful. If you haven't tried it yet, be sure to add it to your meal plan stat! And since no fish dinner is complete without hush puppies and coleslaw, be sure to check out those recipes as well.
P.S. If frying isn't your thing, check out my recipe for crispy parmesan-crusted tilapia!
These cheese crisps make the perfect easy snack. The recipe includes a classic cheese crisp, jalapeno popper crisps, pizza crisps, and nacho crisps so there is something for everyone!

Ahhh these butter crackers are really the first recipe that put my website on the map and after a few years, I am so happy to see that they are still going strong. I describe them as the 'Club cracker' of the keto world and they really are just that. They have a mild buttery flavor that makes them perfect for a wide variety of dips, spreads, and toppings.
Hint: Be sure to check out the comment section for some great flavor options!
Fried chicken could seriously not be any easier with this air fryer recipe. Best of all, the breading is applied by shaking the chicken in a zip lock bag so there is literally ZERO mess.
Are you more of a tender kinda friend? If so fear not! I have a delicious recipe for low carb tenders that can also be made in the air fryer 🙌
This glazed ham soars in popularity through each holiday season and for good reason! Not only is it easy to make, but it has the most addictive blend of seasonings with the perfect touch of sweetness.

These air fryer pork chops are similar to the fried chicken from earlier in the list, so it's really no surprise to see them here.
If pork chops are your thing, do yourself a favor and check out one of my personal favorite recipes that I shared in 2021 - One Pan Pork chops and cauliflower rice!
This taco soup is about as easy as it gets and it has saved me from ordering take-out more times than I can count. It's perfect for those nights when you realize that you forgot to thaw the meat for dinner since you can make this with frozen chicken breast!
Also, if it is soups you are after, I have a wide variety of soups for all dietary and cooking preferences!
You have no idea how happy I am to see that this pancake recipe made the list. Pancakes are one of my favorite foods and I spent a LONG time perfecting this recipe before sharing it. These pancakes have everything that you would want in a pancake - minus the extra carbs!
If you are not eating low carb, then be sure to try my favorite traditional pancake recipe!
This is the recipe I always suggest for people to make for friends who don't normally eat low carb or for picky tiny humans. It seriously tastes just like a loaded baked potato and with the addition of chicken, it is a whole meal!
Don't want the chicken? No problem, check out my sheet pan loaded cauliflower for a tasty side dish!
My top 5 recipes added in 2021
It usually takes a while for new recipes to build up steam so, just for fun, I thought it would be neat to share my personal favorite recipes that were published this year.
- Keto Mexican Chicken and Cauliflower Rice is maybe one of my favorite dinners of all time. I don't even eat a low carb diet any more but I still absolutely LOVE this recipe.
2. Southern Chicken and Dumplings - There is no meal more comforting than chicken and dumplings. This is an old family recipe and it's almost even better leftover!
3. Sugar-Free Chocolate Cream Pie - Do I really need to say anything else? This pie is just as good as a traditional chocolate cream pie and chocolate pie is the best pie.
4. Banana Bread Mug Cake - This is one of my go-to breakfasts and also makes a delicious dessert. The recipe includes both a traditional and low-carb version.
5. Roasted Carrots with Spicy Honey Glaze - Who would have thought that carrots would be one of my favorite recipes of the year? Not me! But these carrots are seriously amazing and super addictive.
