Have you gotten all the supplies you need for your New Year’s meal yet? If not, you better grab them quick before they are sold out!

I know we will probably stick with a more traditional menu for New Year’s but I thought it interesting to see the menu plan in my vintage book mentioned HERE.

Special Holiday Meals: Polar Express 2023, Sourdough Gifts & Recipes, and Other Life Updates

I’m hoping to try to make some Christmas Tree Bread or a Christmas Star with our sourdough but I’m not sure if either of those will happen but they are on my wish list of things to do. I would love to do a traditional Christmas dinner like the one listed in the vintage dinner menu I mentioned HERE but I know that I definitely don’t have the time or patience for that right now.
