I've always loved seeing so many of you enjoying my recipes, from my cookbooks, Instagram, or ones I share on my blog.
Every week this year, I've shared a banging new recipe on my blog – from pastas to breakfasts, speedy dinners, slow cooker favourites, and more.
These are the top 5 that were most popular throughout the year. Some are firm favourites from previous years, while others are brand-new recipes I've added. Which one would you choose?
VigorLife Hub top 5 recipes of 2025
1. Nonna's Special Granola
I get asked about Nonna's Special Granola recipe so many times on Instagram. It really is the best granola on earth 😍 The key to getting this granola nice and toasty is to spread it thinly over two trays when you cook it – you get that lovely crisp coconut that way. Get the recipe.
2. Peanut Butter Bars
These bars are well-loved! They're super easy to make and only have 5 ingredients. You can batch-make 12-16 bars and enjoy it as a snack when you’re feeling peckish. See the full recipe.
3. Budget Crispy Chilli Beef
This has been an absolute winner of a recipe this year! The blend of peanut butter and soy sauce is delicious, and it's a high protein meal, too. It only takes 20 minutes – winner. Get the recipe.
4. Chicken Cashew Curry
Another firm favourite each year is my creamy cashew curry – a hit for families. To make it nut free, you can swap the cashews for the same amount of seeds, like pumpkin or sunflower. See the full recipe.
5. Chicken Milanese with Pasta
Corrrr this is a banger. Creamy, cheesy, and packed full of flavour. Serve on top a bed of spaghetti – you've got to give it a go. Get the full recipe.
