December 30, 2021 By Lokness Leave a Comment

2021 is almost over! Time really flies! It may not a year that we all wish for, but I hope we got through it with lots of good food! Look forward to a better year ahead! In the meantime, let’s take a look at our Top 6 recipes in 2021.

Top 6 Recipes of 2021 | The Missing Lokness

I can’t believe it’s the end of a year again. This year is another weird one. Personally, life has been pretty slow. We were able to go out and do some short trips, which is really nice after being stuck at home for 2020. But we’re still being careful and haven’t flown on a plane yet. Hope covid will slow down in 2022 for real, so things can be more normal.

For the blog, it hasn’t been an easy year. I have been really slow with recipe developing. For many times, I feel uninspired and unmotivated. I hope to be more positive and walk out from this in 2022. Thank you very much for your continued support. Your comments are what keep me going! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Wish you all a joyful and healthy 2022! Happy New Year!

Before we head to 2022, it’s time to look back at our 2021 Top 6 Recipes! 

  1. Yogurt Panna Cotta with Strawberry & Honey – Silky smooth panna cotta that is a little tangy from the yogurt. Pair with sweet honey and fresh strawberry. No doubt an excellent dessert for summer!

  1. Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic – A fun twist on classic! Sprinkle sugar on mandarin slices and torch it for a bit. The sugar gets caramelized and added to the cocktail. A really lovely drink!

BONUS – My Favorite Recipe of the Year:

Cheesy Black Bean Dip – It looks so ordinary, but it’s one of my favorites! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet, and little citrusy. Either for a game day or dinner party, get yourself a big bag of tortilla chips, because you will need them all.

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

S’mores Crispy Rice Cereal Treats. A fun twist o S’mores Crispy Rice Cereal Treats. A fun twist on the classic. Easy, no-bake, & guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser! My favorite part? Toasting the marshmallows w/ a kitchen torch for that perfectly charred, smoky flavor.🤎 These Rice Krispies treats make the best party snacks or a sweet little afternoon pick-me-up!

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅

If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it’s this one, Burrata Salad w/ Marinated Tomato & Thai Basil. Creamy, bright flavors & no cook. I love how well the savory Thai basil pair w/ sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumbers & creamy burrata. Amazing!

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. 🍒🧊🍧

Jammy fried eggs, crispy tater tots, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, melty cheddar & salty cotija cheese. And don’t forget the sauces, salsa de molcajete & cilantro crema. It’s hearty, filling & comforting! Yes, this is no doubt our favorite burrito!
