Saturday Edition - January 9, 2026

Good morning Member

Hey GrayViners, it’s another Saturday together, and with 2025 coming to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all of you. Getting to know this community and hearing your stories, wisdom, and humor has truly been one of the best parts of my year. I’m so glad we got to share it all, and I can’t wait to make even more memories with you in 2026.

As we stepped into a brand-new year, I couldn’t help but think about the comfort of good food and good company. The holidays always brought both, didn’t they? So tell me—what holiday foods were on your table this year? Share them in the forum, I’d love to see what everyone cooked up!

If your fridge is still full, now’s the perfect chance to give those leftovers a second life. Keep reading for some cozy, comforting recipes that might just become new favorites.

Enjoy the final days of 2025, everyone! Here’s to a brighter, warmer 2026 ahead! đŸ„‚
