January is a month I’ve come to appreciate over the years. While I used to despise it due to its bone-chilling temperatures and lack of excitement after a festive holiday season, I now relish the quiet. It’s a month to celebrate the indoors — to cook cozy things, sip extra mugs of tea, and take to the couch with a good book and a blanket.

Your favorite new recipes this month reflected our innate desire to lean on comfort right now. Chicken soup, cheesy potato casserole, and pasta with braised greens were just a few of the dishes you loved the most. Here are the 10 most popular new recipes from this past January.
