    I look forward to all of your delicious dishes and recipes in 2024. I over indulged in Christmas goodies, and I will need to cut back in January. Brussels Sprouts Salad with Cranberries & Pecans sounds really great. Happy New Year, Jenna! Wishing you and your family a healthy and happy new year!

    I’m quite honored to have my brownie peppermint trifle recipe on your bucket list. It makes a bucket’s worth, so be sure to have plenty of people around to consume it all. From this list, I am planning on trying the sherried chicken recipe. It sounds heavenly! Happy New Year, Jenna!

  8. Happy 2024 indeed! So many new things ahead, and when you cook something new, you avoid that “same-old, same-old” feeling, which I dislke. (except for Cheerios. I could eat those every day).

    Good things ahead in January. At our Christmas dinner, my husband who focuses on the entrees was glad when I volunteered to make your corn casserole to go with his ham. I knew he would like it because he likes Ritz crackers. I love corn so it was a win-win!

  10. One word for this — YUM! Happy New Year, Jenna!

  11. Thanks, Jenna, for sharing a “bucket list” of very delicious looking recipes! Wishing you grand new year filled with endless possibilities!

  12. helenfern says:
