19 Comforting Recipes to Kick Off the New Year in the Most Delicious Way

We typically don't like to play into the whole new year, new us routine. We're not under any notion to give up buttermilk biscuits or caramel cake or pimiento cheese in the name of New Year's resolutions, but that doesn't mean we'll be staying the same in 2020. Our January-February issue is chock-full of reasons to get back in the kitchen—19, to be exact. 

We're looking to pick up a new hobby, like, say, baking a new take (or five!) on Mama's classic pineapple casserole. From drool-worthy pina colada quick bread to insanely buttery pineapple crumble bars, we've got fresh pineapple recipes worth kicking things off. 

If you're still easing back into the swing of things, you might instead choose a bowl of comforting soup. Start with one of our simple, warm new recipes like the lemony chicken orzo soup and move onto the creamy bacon-topped cauliflower soup or the slow-cooker peas-and-greens soup with turkey sausage. We're even throwing in an almost too-easy sheet pan hanger steak dinner recipe that'll quickly become a family favorite. 

From cast-iron cornbread sticks to heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day, these recipes deserve a spot on your menu.
