January 2024 is here! I am so excited for the year that’s to come. We have so much to look forward to, so many fun things on the calendar, and, of course, so many new recipes to share! With the holidays behind us, it’s sure left me a bit sad. I love the specialness of December and am already looking forward to next season! I share out this post every new year, each year adding in even more colorful protein-packed recipes than the previous year. Because we really want to kick Healthy January off on the best foot possible! This is our 8th Healthy January. It’s become a month that I think everyone really enjoys. My big focus for 2024 is more protein, which seems to be a focus for many of us right now. I’m excited to continue to share colorful recipes with an emphasis on high-quality protein sources. To keep things exciting, I’m looking forward to using more red meat and pork in my recipes instead of just chicken. I’ll still be sharing vegetable-focused recipes; balance is what I strive to achieve. My goal is to create nutrient-rich recipes to keep our energy levels high. I’m not the type of person to ever go carb-free, skimp on butter, or share a cheeseless pizza. I focus on using only real food in the recipes I create. I’m feeling excited for a year full of new recipes. I think this will be a year of creativity and simplicity with my cooking. Woohoo! Are there any recipes you’d be especially excited to see? Cozy favorites made healthy? I always love to hear from you guys!
