Year 2020 in a nutshell & Top 10 Recipes of 2020

Sharing my thoughts about year 2020 in a nutshell and also, top 10 recipes from my blog which have been very popular and most loved by you all for the year 2020!

Year 2020 in a nutshell

The year 2020 is coming to an end. And needless to say, it has been a life changing year for many of us. With the pandemic gripping our lives, it has shaken us all in different ways. For some, it was more of family bonding time, while for many others, sadly it has been a loss of a loved one or end of an important relationship. But, in the end, it is what it is. And 2020 has taught us to be as flexible, patient and down to earth as we could possibly be.

One major thing that has been a game changer this year for most of us has been Home Cooking. Every other household has produced at least one or two master-chefs who are cooking up a storm in the kitchen almost every day. Well, no wonder with the restaurants closing down, and people being skeptical to even go for take outs, they have tried almost every food trend possible.

I have been blessed and grateful to continue this love for cooking, baking and writing through this blogging medium. Live-Laugh-Love has been a dream come true for me. And I am going to give more and more of my time, energy and positive vibes to it starting next year. The love that you guys have given to this blog has been overwhelming and I can’t thank you enough for it.

In a conclusion

I have planned a lot of things for 2021, starting with finishing off the Julie & Julia project. I don’t mind the project completion being delayed in 2020, just because the year made us prioritize our lives in a different way. But we are all hopeful for the new year, and the days ahead of us, no matter what the situation is. Also, thanks to the numerous podcasts that I’ve listened to by life coaches and motivational speakers, I am now planning to make most of each day, and take this blog to newer levels, by going to positively outdo my best so far.

Working on myself is the only target for 2021. Staying away from negative people and negative life experiences is going to be my fuel. And keeping my spirit animal alive will be on top of my life’s priority. So, without further taking more time of yours, I am beyond honored to present the top 10 recipes of the year 2020 for Live-Laugh-Love, the blog. Hope you enjoy reading/making these as much as I did!
