Happy New Year, friend!

I’m really excited for 2019 to get kicked off. I don’t know about you but I’ve got a BIG year ahead of me.

Things on my radar include building a house (and moving to that new house!), joining a business mastermind for Christian business women, planning an in-person workshop, and more.

My word for 2019 is “VISION” which means I am getting serious about crafting a vision for the life I want to live and making the mindset shifts that have to happen to see that vision through.

It’s always exciting (and a little scary) being an entrepreneur, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Share in the comments below what your big plans are for 2019… I’d love to hear what’s going on in your world!

And if you’re just hungry, here’s the #FedForReal recipe of the week!

Recipe of the week:

Slow Cooked CURRIED Lamb Shanks

Lamb shanks are the perfect cut of meat for slow-cooked stews and curries. Cooked low and slow, the meat basically melts off the bone….. juicy, tender and warming as we approach the coldest part of winter.

Slow cooked dishes are powerful vehicles for immune supportive ingredients like fresh garlic, herbs, spices, and cruciferous veggies. Choose cuts of meats with the bone in (like lamb shanks or oxtail) for extra points, where the beneficial collagen and minerals add an extra nutritional boost.
