Grubhub’s 2021 Food Trend Report — Brit + Co

Not only do these Carnitas put your average beef tacos to shame, you can also make them in under an hour. Add in some dried seasoning, jalapeño juice, or top with queso to spice things up. If you’re not the biggest taco fan, try putting everything on top of rice instead!

Stuff these bad boys with all your favorite ingredients. Since they call for lettuce instead of flour wraps or buns, they’re perfect for all your gluten-free babes. Boring lunches be gone because this is the kind of lunch you’ll never be disappointed eating.

Side Dishes

Garlic knots just got an even tastier upgrade with the inclusion of your favorite potato chips. Just flatten your favorite biscuit dough, sprinkle in some chips, and roll the dough into a rope. Then all you have to do is tie them into knots and bake for 15-20 minutes. Easy peasy.

We’re pretty much mac and cheese fanatics at this point, and as much as we love your basic noodles and cheese, we’re always looking for a way to spruce things up. Basil and Brussels sprouts add some extra crunch and, we’d argue, even make the dish a little bit more nutritious.

Crispy pepper slices give this creamy cheese sauce a bit of texture, and the spinach reminds us of spinach artichoke dip, another holiday favorite. If you’re not a fan of spicy food, try a more mild pepper instead of jalapeños, or if you’re hosting, put some on the side for the guests who want them to sprinkle on top.

Desserts

The perfect bite-sized dessert, these ice cream bars are easy, yummy, and the perfect shade of pink. Make them for your New Year’s party, or save them for your picnics and barbecues come summer. Whenever you decide to make them, they’re sure to be a crowd favorite!

Pizza is already delectable, and the only thing that we think could make it better is swapping tomato sauce and cheese for chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Not only is it a sweet way to jazz up your meal, but it’s also a lot easier to eat than traditional s’mores.

Drinks

This year saw a 100% increase in coffee orders, which is exactly why you should master your favorite drink recipe. Make a cup of your go-to joe, then pour it over a mixture of pumpkin puree, almond milk, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup. Voilà!

This tangy, salty, sweet and sparkly drink is about to make an appearance at all your brunches. Mix some Tequila, passion fruit juice, Prosecco, and agave to get this delicious recipe. And don’t forget to salt the rim!

This DIY bar will prepare you for all your dinner party hosting needs. Whether you need some bubbly for New Year’s or you’re having a couple girlfriends over for a movie night, you’ll know that you have everything you need to make some awesome drinks.

Vegan + Vegetarian Food Trends

This year, Grubhub’s vegan and vegetarian orders grew by 16% and 13% respectively, offering the perfect inspo for making your go-to dishes a little bit healthier. This recipe requires no heavy lifting (thank you slow cooker!), and it’s totally customizable. Add some whipped cream or vegan marshmallows, and a bit of edible gold dust makes this cocoa literal magic.

These aren’t your mama’s biscuits (or maybe they are, in which case we’re jealous). Full of crunchy cornmeal, flavorful cheddar, and a bit of heat, these babies are exactly what you need for your next meal. Pair with some maple sausage and a huge pot of coffee for a breakfast in bed that you won’t want to end.

Think of this risotto like a sister to mac and cheese. While there are countless ingredient combos and add-ins that will taste uh-maze-ing, the brie + bacon + squash in this recipe is already making our mouths water.
