January 9 is National Apricot Day and it doesn't get better than this jam!

💭 Tips for success

Here are some tips for this week -

Make extra chicken when you make the Texas 2-Step Chicken to use in the BBQ Chicken Pizza later in the week.
Leftover creamed corn? Use it in place of the corn kernels in the Cowboy Casserole.
Leftover pot roast gets repurposed into Shepherd's Pie.
