I'm not sure about you guys but this has been a long week for me. I am so thankful for the celebrations, the family and friends, and all the good food. But I am also ready for some lighter meals and a 'long winter's nap'. How about you?

Not that Boxing Day is something that we celebrate in the States, I am a bit curious about it. My understanding is that it's a day of sort of casting off the extras of Christmas Day and sharing it with those who need it (or want it). In some ways, I think we actually do that in our home...to some degree. By evening, I found we were already putting away and giving away some gifts that didn't actually serve us currently. I found myself looking into my refrigerator early this morning and thinking, "Oh, wow. I so need a reset." Time to clear out old, clean out the mess and start fresh. I'm not doing it yet, but thinking about. And the rest extends far beyond the refrigerator. How about you? What thoughts are going through your head this Boxing Day?

My wishes are a little late but only because it has been a sweet day of being present with family. I pray your day has been blessed.

Last night I thought I was getting ahead for Christmas Day and whipped up a batch of sausage balls from scratch. Only, it has been a log time since I've made them or even had them. They smelled so good that I could not help myself. I had one, then two, then..."Oh heck, I'll make another batch for Christmas. We are eating them now!" What holiday treats are you eating today or eagerly anticipating?

We are probably all eating more than normal due to the holiday parties and events currently. Sometimes we have to be more intentional at home to counter what we face out in public. So, when you are preparing meals at home, what's your favorite healthy cooking method?
