New Recipe Tried ~ Last Day of 2024

                                       

                                        

I love a pan of roasted vegetables, and this was a bit different than my normal seasoning (as well as vegetable variety).  It called for 5 cloves of garlic, 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1 tsp. of paprika, homemade onion powder, and 1 tsp of homemade Italian seasoning (and salt and pepper).  The second photo is a cheese mixture with feta, cream cheese, yogurt, and honey.  We loved it!   Oh, in the end of the cooking time, I tossed in some sliced turkey sausages.

I do miss fresh garden goodies.  Finding "fresh" in the stores is not the same.  We have nothing to harvest this time of year, as we do not have a greenhouse.

It is pouring down rain as I get this very last blog post for 2024 up.  How will you be spending the day?  My husband, like most full-time employees, is working today.  I am not sure on my day yet today, other than exercise (medicine for the body and soul), and maybe baking muffins.   I do have some house cleaning that needs done, but we'll be hunkered in for the New Year's Eve. 

Our snack tonight is hummus.  I whipped it up slightly different this time.  I used half organic navy beans and half organic chickpeas, and added a bit of turmeric to it.  It is delicious.

I do not make any New Year "resolutions" because I work on myself, our home, and overall life every single day.  I am looking forward to a much better camping year, as last year it got away from us.   We will need to fence the other garden, and other projects that are rolling into next year.

I look at the end of the year, and beginning of the next year as a realm of possibilities.

I do reflect on any bad habits (or lack of continuous good habits), as the year comes to an end, it sort of takes over my thoughts for the day.  The fact it's the last day of a year, makes you think about things on a larger scale.

I hope your evening is fun filled, or relaxing, or just enjoyable.  Happy New Year!
