Top 20 Gluten-Free Recipes of 2022

Happy 2023! Today I am sharing the Top 20 gluten-free recipes of 2022 on gfe. 

“Merry is a word for Christmas, Happy is a word for New Year, Thanks is a word for all year.” This quotation is one of my all-time favorites but I don’t know its original source.

It was the entry for January 1 for a handmade perpetual calendar that I used for many years. Anyway, thanks so much for being here!

I know that some blogs shared their Top 20 list as their end-of-the-year wrap-up. But longtime readers know I usually ease into the new year slowly.

Plus, I did not think that most of you would be interested in taking a look back while you were busy celebrating the holidays with your loved ones. I know I wasn’t.

There are some long-time beloved recipes here as well as some surprises. At least, some of them surprised me!

Note that I do not include recipe collections in this Top 20 but I do show the few that made the cut in brackets when and where they occur in the popularity ranking. Enjoy!

Disturbing information to say the least.
