Sunday Dinner

Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.

Our Top Recipe of 2025

Hey friends,

As we wrap up 2025, I couldn’t think of a better way to end the year than with the recipe you loved most. Out of everything we cooked together this year, the most-visited recipe was Kendall Toole’s Lemon Orzo Pasta, and honestly, I get it. It’s bright, cozy, a little indulgent, and sneaks in some serious protein thanks to whipped cottage cheese, bone broth, and a good hit of parmesan. It’s a win every time.

If you haven’t made it yet (or need a reminder to make it again), this one’s perfect for a low-stress, high-reward meal as we head into the new year.

And if you want to see this dish come together in real time, you can watch the full Homemade Live! episode with Kendall Toole on Youtube, where we cook, chat, and have a whole lot of fun in the kitchen together. It’s one of my favorites from the year.

Thanks for cooking with us all year long. See you in 2026, with plenty more deliciousness ahead!
