January Paint Bucket

I hope all your holiday celebrations were wonderful

Here we are, almost January 2025!

With Thanksgiving so late this year,

I feel like I’ve been in a whirlwind ever since!

I am going to take it easy this month

with recipes that aren’t labor intense

The flavor/theme of the month for January is
