Hey Friends,
Ah, January.
The time to settle back into a rhythm. To notice the quiet, everyday good stuff again. January life isn’t about big, splashy moments. It’s about appreciating what you have and finding joy in the ordinary.
I’m writing this on my living room couch. My husband is stretched out on the other one, and my daughters are being wonderfully goofy while working on a bunny-in-an-umbrella puzzle at the kitchen table. It’s nothing special. It’s everything.
That everyday joy includes cooking dinner. Every. Single. Dang. Day. Families keep needing food, but the takeout budget is a little tapped after holiday gifting. That’s where hot sauce really comes in clutch. The simple, budget, back-of-the-cupboard meals suddenly feel a lot more exciting with the right sauce.
And having a household full of people who all have different ideal heat levels means that we can all apply our favorite sauce (all the way from Scape Sauce to Maple Wood Smoked Onion to Taco Vibes Only in this house).
And dessert? The Santa cookies are long gone, so a spoonful of Salted Bourbon Caramel feels like just the right way to end the day. I add a sprinkle of Mighty Tasty Granola if I’m feeling a little January-fancy.
School is starting back up, work weeks are five days again, and January is here to remind us that simple can still be sublime.
