I can't believe Christmas is here!  Are you ready?!

We'll be busy celebrating with family over the next few days. 

All the gatherings = all the food. 

While I love a classic Christmas meal, I don't need 4 of them in a row.

We decided to skip the huge meal for my family Christmas and keep things simple (so we don't all have to wear sweatpants!)

Instead, we're having hot sandwiches and appetizers.  

I gladly volunteered to make sandwiches because they're so easy and I already have all of the meat in my freezer.

Since your freezer is now stocked too, I thought I'd share the recipes I'm using in case you're stuck not knowing what to make.

Here's what we're having:

Pulled-Pork-Sandwiches.png

You can prep either of these in under 2 minutes (it'll take you longer to slice the buns then it will to make these!)

And they're so delicious.

If you don't need them for Christmas, they'd be perfect for a New Year's gathering.

Or those busy weeknights you're driving kids to and from practice.

Enjoy!

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas,
Sarah

Where to Begin: A Real-Food Reset for Busy Families

As we step into a new year, it’s impossible to ignore what’s happening around us. Kids are getting sick more often. Chronic illness is becoming normal. Cancer, autoimmune disease, digestive issues, anxiety, ADHD — it feels like nearly every family is dealing with something. For many parents, that realization is unsettling. And it leads to a hard but important question: Is the way we’re eating part of the problem?
