Easy dinners is the name of the game in what you’ve been saving and cooking this year, with two tray bakes, and five one-pan dinners in the top 10. The one-pan meals are all chicken recipes, too! If you’re one of the many people who saved a chicken recipe to your collection, you’ll find more chicken dinner inspiration in our collection of 100 chicken dinners.

But what about the baking, you ask? The Women’s Weekly Test Kitchen is renowned for its classic baking recipes, but only one sweet treat made the cut this year (so far!). But it did come in at number two, so it’s a well-loved recipe. And considering how popular our collection of loaf cake recipes is every year, it’s no surprise that it was a loaf cake that made the list. Scroll down to find out which one.

Your love of Julie Goodwin recipes is also on show in these 10 most saved recipes, with three of her easy dinners here. If you love Julie’s recipes, head on over to the Women’s Weekly Food YouTube channel to watch her make them. Her how-to videos always have tips for success.
