From 20-1 you’ll come across all your favorite posts of 2020. There are some oldie, but goodies in this round up that I am not surprised made the list! I hope these give you some hope and a way to look forward, get yummy ideas and start off 2021 better 🙂
I know time has gotten away from me and there are still so many things I was hoping to share with you! (Including the road trip I had told you about last time). Oh well. I am still hoping to get to that. As you may be able to imagine, being in healthcare has been all time consuming and exhausting in many different ways.

There is hope though. I received my first of two COVID-19 shots on Christmas Eve. There really were no side effects. The shot felt better than my average flu shot! Sure I had some arm tenderness the next day, but that was mostly if someone tried to touch it (looking at you dad) and it went away by the day after.
The other side effect (which I didn’t see as a negative) was that I was running slightly hotter than usual. Not by a lot. I mean not even a low grade fever type running hot. Just slightly warmer and I can tell you it was very welcome in my cold apartment! So that was a win for me. I am looking forward to finishing out my doses in hopes that next year can be brighter and happier for all of us.

Now lets get to the recipes! It’ll be a countdown from number 20 to number 1! I hope you find something that you like and want to try! I am hoping to be more productive on the blog in 2021 (I have many goals, though, but I promise I will try!) Just click on the link, or the picture to be taken to the post!
