Happy New Year!

 Welcome, 2022!

It is always nice to have that "fresh" start.

2021 was full of new experiences and 2022 will be as well.

I am treating 2022 as a new adventure!

I hope you have made some plans for the new year.

I have not made any "resolutions" per se, 

but there are always things to work on.

We have a goal to purchase our first home after a move back across the country.

I desire to read more in the evenings.

I want to keep writing notes to others and sending them the old-fashioned way.

Of course, there are always goals as a homemaker.

I want to continue to build my plant-based menu ideas.

I want to be more aware of my spending.

Today, the Christmas tree came done.

The ornaments were put away and the tree was prepared for the dumpster.

Tomorrow, I will put up some winter decorations or jump directly to Valentine's Day decor.

Tomorrow will also bring a focus on Zone 2 - the kitchen!

That is hubby's favorite zone for me to clean

and my least because the "clean" lasts for such a short time.

And the meal plan for the week ...

Sunday - leftover turkey and gravy (frozen from Thanksgiving) with mashed potatoes and peas/carrots

Monday - Veggie Burgers and French Fries

Tuesday - Vegetable Stew

Wednesday - Breakfast for Dinner 

(Rice and Sausage Breakfast Casserole - without Sausage and cheese add black beans)

Thursday - Asian Pad Thai

Friday - Winter Veggie Soup

The only experiment this week was tonights veggie burgers.

I often eat frozen veggie burgers, but hubby hasn't enjoyed them.

Tonights meal was a success.

The burgers were moist and flavorful.

We enjoyed with pickles and either may or mustard.

Next time we will put some guacomole on top!
