The Best 21 Day Fix recipes of 2020 from the Blog, Confessions of a Fit Foodie! This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
Well, guys, we have finally made it to the end of 2020, truly a year like no other. And in the spirit of tradition, I am posting the list of your favorite new recipes of the year. This year was all about comfort food – pastas, soups, and chocolate treats! And I think we really proved that you can still enjoy your favorite dishes in a healthier way and everything still tastes delish.
Thank you again for all of your support and for sticking with me through this year…once again, this blog was a welcome distraction from, well, everything else. And while I wasn’t able to fulfill all the goals I set out to achieve (I see you, virtual school) I am really proud of all the awesomeness that did happen! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Best 21 Day Fix recipes of 2020 from the Blog, Confessions of a Fit Foodie!
Asian Chicken Meatballs
You guys are still going crazy over these meatballs and I freaking love it! This was the first recipe I posted in 2020 and it is hands down the most popular of the year!
Here's what one reader has to say, "An absolute family favorite! Everyone gets so excited when I say these are for dinner! My 11 year old even says she likes these more than traditional Italian style meatballs!! Win!!"
Instant Pot Enchilada Pasta
Another huge fave - this enchilada pasta is so quick and easy, you a delicious, comfort food dinner on the table in no time.
From the comments, "Holy moly that was AMAZING!! So flavorful and so filling. This will definitely be added to my short list of recipes of yours that I love!!"
Instant Pot Chicken Curry and Rice
We love this one - it's definitely in my own top five - but I was so pumped that you guys also love it!
One reader said, "I have cooked this several times – it reheats so well for lunches! My mom, sister, and I are obsessed! We added a little more garlic and a tablespoon of garam masala!
Thank you so much for our new go to staple in our home!"
Healthy Alfredo Sauce
I have wanted to get a Healthy Alfredo recipe on the blog for years - 2020 was finally the time! I tested this recipe at least a dozen times until I was satisfied 😂. #worthit
This reader comment made me giggle "This was EXCELLENT!!! I could have eaten it with a spoon (okay, maybe I did)." You guys are my people!
Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup
This Chicken and Wild Rice Soup recipe was a little out of my comfort zone, as it isn't a meal I grew up eating. But you guys trusted me and this has become a favorite soup on Confessions!
One comment read, "AMAZING soup recipe! Thank you so much!!!!! You know if your husband asks if I’m able to can this for future meals, it must be a keeper LOL."
Homemade Hamburger Helper
I love my Low Carb Cheeseburger Mac, but sometimes you just want some pasta, am I right? This homemade Hamburger Helper is just the thing! It still has lots of veggie power with some hidden cauliflower, too.
From one reader, "My bf is NOT a fan of hamburger helper at all, but after looking over your recipe he agreed to try it. SCORE!! He loved it!! (Me, too!!) Yummmmmy!!! Another definite keeper in our meal planning repertoire!"
Taco Stuffed Acorn Squash
I love Acorn Squash, but I wasn't sure how the combination of Squash and Taco meat would be. OMG. Best idea ever!
From the comments "These are yummy! The combo of the sweet wonderful acorn squash combined with the taco flavors that we all love made this is favorite that we’ll keep coming back to!"
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup [Gluten Free]
Seriously my FAVE Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe ever - and you guys think so, too! Like one reader said, "This is probably one of the tastiest recipes for chicken noodle soup that I have made! And so easy in the instant pot! Love it!"
But not only is it delish, it is packed with healing ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and garlic! Another reason to try this one if you haven't!
Healthy Samoas Cookie Bars [Gluten Free]
This recipe was a total whim, but man did it take off! I love making desserts that aren't "treat swaps" and these Samoas Cookie Bars are just that! Definitely look for a Thin Mint and Tagalong in 2021!
From one Confessions reader, "These are so delicious! My husband even liked them! He said “stop making healthy things taste so good!” You always have the best recipes!"
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Whether it's a dessert, a breakfast, or a snack, you guys keep coming back for this Chocolate Chia Pudding Recipe! I love how many of you tried Chia Pudding for the first time, too...I will definitely
This comment sums it up, "Omg! I just wanted to share.... the chocolate chia pudding is amazing!!!! It definitely satisfies a sweet craving, i love the texture, its kinda reminds me of tapioca- hubby also tried it and he was like “ this is weird, but i cant stop eating it!” Lol"
Honorable Mentions

I am in love with these little Air Fryer Falafel Bites and they are one of my fave things to Meal Prep for the freezer!
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese [Instant Pot]
You guys loooooove this one, but it's new. And it didn't really have the time to gain enough traction to be a top ten recipe. I hope you guys continue to make this one in 2021!

We make this recipe every single week in the good weather - the burger sauce is 🤤. I was so excited to finally get it on the blog!
