📅 Food Holidays

  • January 16 International Hot and Spicy Food Day
  • January 18 National Gourmet Coffee Day so treat yourself to this yummy latte!
  • January 20 National Cheese Lover's Day ... might I suggest this very yummy tavern style mac & cheese.
  • January 21 National Banana Bread Day - give this orange glazed banana bread a try.

💭 Tips for success

Here are some tips for this week -

  • While you are cooking the ground beef for the lasagna soup go ahead and shape the ground beef patties for the slow cooker salisbury steaks. You can put everything in the slow cooker and refrigerate overnight then get a start on it easily in the morning.
  • If you don't want to make the kalamata olive bread just make extra garlic breadsticks. They're so easy!
  • Need a grab and go breakfast? These egg bites are low carb but they're so delicious everyone loves them!
