Happy 2024.  Yesterday I shared a physical activity challenge that my daughter and I have started for the New Year and today I am sharing a blogging challenge that I invited others to join me on as we begin 2024.

In this challenge, we will post a new recipe to our blogs every other Wednesday throughout the year featuring a letter of the alphabet.  We are starting with A today and will continue until December 18th when we will finish up the year with the letter Z.  

Each recipe will start with the featured letter of the alphabet or feature a food item that begins with that week's letter.  Let's see what each of the participants decided to share featuring the Letter A this week......

• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Almond Chicken 
• Palatable Pastime: Angel Food Cake 
• Karen’s Kitchen Stories: Apple Buns 
• Culinary Cam: A Reclaimed Æbleskiver Pan + Æbleskiver Bread Pudding 
• Blogghetti: Air Fryer Glazed Chocolate Apple Hand Pies 
• Food Lust People Love: Anchovy Deviled Eggs 
• Mayuri’s Jikoni: Amaranth Paratha 
• Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice: Dried Apple & Bourbon Oven-Baked Sauerkraut 
• Jolene’s Recipe Journal: Spiced Apple Oatmeal 
• Sneha’s Recipe: Afghani Soya Chaap

This easy dish is ready in less than half an hour.  Faster than you can get to your local restaurant and back with carryout and healthier as we go into the New Year. 

Another bonus.....I got to listen to Grampy and the Angel Face karaoke together while I made dinner.  Happy 9th Day of Christmas everyone!!
