Best of January ✨

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

How'd the first month of the year treat you? I am currently dealing with my second cold of the month. I guess I got lucky dodging the germs last month. 48 days until Spring!

Here are your favorite recipes from January:

🏆 Top Recipes from January

These Cinnamon Sugar Muffins really took off which is funny because I first shared that recipe January 29, 2010!
This Crockpot Chicken Alfredo gained popularity on Pinterest.
My chicken pot pie and buffalo chicken dip continue to get rave reviews.

✨ New Favorites

I shared four new recipes in January. I highly encourage you to try these shortcut cinnamon rolls this weekend, maybe with a pot of vegetable soup.

🔜 Coming Soon

On one of the recent snow days, Rosie and I worked on a chocolate chip banana bread recipe that I need to share. I also have a couple new crockpot recipes coming!

I have quite a few fun things to share with you:

I added these lights to my dark linen closet & it is so much nicer!
My storage container lids are all neatly contained thanks to this little caddy.
Julia (11) has played with these for HOURS this week while I worked on this puzzle. I'm really trying to incorporate more analog hobbies, for all of us, and we're all enjoying them.
After Robert complained about our disorderly straw collection, I got this space saver for the cabinet door & feel so organized.
And lastly, Robert picked me up these & my stuffy nose very much appreciated them.

Talk to you soon!
