I spend way too much time on social media saving recipes I swear I’m going to make. Some of them are overhyped, but every once in a while, one actually sticks. This viral recipes collection is basically my greatest hits from the past five-ish years of testing, tweaking, and deciding what’s actually worth keeping. I’ve even had fun creating a few viral-style recipes myself, like my take on baked feta pasta when that was everywhere.
