January 11, 2023. Dear Kids– 2022 was an inconsistent year for Dad’s Dinner Diary- with the big move of the “Test Kitchen”, there were not nearly as many recipes as 2021 or even as many InstaRecipes on Instagram in 2022, which currently features 12 “Lost Recipes” that I hope to have up on dadsdinnerdiary.com someday. In spite of all that, we still have the Top 5 Dad’s Dinner Diary Recipes for 2022 (Yes, smarty pants, there were more than five!) here today. As an added bonus, I’ve also included the Top 5 Most Liked InstaRecipes of 2022, The Dad’s Top 5 Recipes of 2022 You Gotta Try and, the #1, All Time Favorite Dad’s Dinner Diary Recipe. Enjoy the new year and I hope to see you on more of a regular basis in 2023.
