Cook much? While so many people rely on take out foods, others are still cooking up a storm. In fact, the website TheDailyMeal.com has put together America’s 25 Favorite Recipes to Make at Home.
By using data collected from common food searches at The Daily Meal and many of the country’s other leading search engines and food websites, the writers developed a comprehensive list of the most searched food terms of 2013. They then took the research a step farther to find out what recipes America loves to make with those foods and how many times each recipe was searched.
Finally, they crafted a unique algorithm to yield a search score and rank.
AND THE FAVORITES ARE…
25. Chicken wings
24. Deviled eggs
23. Guacamole
22. Fish tacos
21. Mashed potatoes
20. Crock pot chicken
