Time to get back in the kitchen and today we are welcoming another chef to the The Savvy Savor Collective's kitchen. Welcome to @Oliver Wing who also has a community on Skool called Cooking with Ollie. @Oliver Wing , you have the mic. Tell us more!

Eating out, fast food and junk food for many of us are a huge blow to the checkbook. So, for the month of January I am planning to focus the whole month on dupe recipes of our favorite restaurants and healthy at home versions of some favorite snack foods. What are some restaurant favs that are a temptations for you?

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.

After countless requests from friends, I've finally dropped my old fashioned Oatmeal Cookie recipe on YouTube. These are the ultimate Oatmeal Cookies that are chewy, crispy-edged, that can be sized just the way you like them. These bad boys have been my secret weapon for years—perfect for snack attacks, family gatherings, or just treating yourself. If you are an oatmeal cookie enthusiast, what's your go-to add-in for oatmeal cookies? Raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, or something wild like cranberries? I've added raisins, chocolate chips and even butterscotch chips, but my favorite is just plain Jane.

As I keep working to build out this community, I just wanted to let you know that I have added linked several videos to the Budget Dinners course under the Classroom tab. They are videos individually linked by the recipe name for easy access. I hope you are all enjoying a blessed weekend and getting the rest you deserve. Do you have any big plans or are you Skooling on the sofa?
