Yes to Year of No!! I once said I want a t-shirt that reads “No Is My Spirit Animal” and imho, not enough people said I was brilliant. 🖤 🩷

Try the King Arthur Flour bagel recipe (it was their recipe of the year a few years back). Very simple & straight-forward with delicious results! I started 2024 by finally embarking on reading The Covenant of Water. Thankfully this has been a slow week in my schedule because this book has pulled me in and I’m struggling to put it down! I highly recommend carving out some time with this amazing story, don’t be scared by its length (700+ pages). It’s truly a work of literary art that I’m loving more than I expected.

Yesss to all of this! Like you, a few days ago, I wrote down a few things I wanted to focus on (rather than specific resolutions) and the ones that immediately came to mind: more calls to my mom, more walks with my friend; less sugar, less stuff;)

I did also give myself the fun goal of baking one recipe each month for the whole year from the cookbook you turned me on to, Snacking Cakes! I did a Year of Pie not long ago & it was so much fun!!

I'm almost finished with my first read of the year, Such A Quiet Place by Megan Miranda, and it's great! I can't wait to know how the mystery unfolds.

Happy New Year, Abby! I'm so grateful for you xoxo

Not that I didn’t deeply appreciate the content of your message, because I did. And also I don’t like bagel jerky either, so try this: https://alexandracooks.com/2018/08/16/very-good-bagels-easy-ish-too/.
