The Organized Life, January Paint Bucket
Happy 2023!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday month!
We had a grand time and I must admit,
Door Dash delivered dinner to our house a few times 😂
January will be focused on lighter, healthier food
after all the holiday indulgences!
The flavor/theme of the month is Lighten Up

and posted the 10 most popular Take-out Tuesday easy dinners
Happy 2023!
