The combination of fresh crisp vegetables and a warm hearty soup is perfect for these snowy January days, without being too heavy. Fresh and pureed mango add a bright sweet taste to this Thai curry.
I made this heavy on vegetables, so it came out more like a stew. For a more traditional consistency, add additional broth or coconut milk.

DAY 9: Thin Mint Puppy Chow
A crunchy chocolate snack mix that will remind you of your favorite Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie.
Chex cereal is coated with dark chocolate and Andes mint chocolates, and mixed with mint flavored M&M’s.

DAY 8: Turtle Shortbread Cookies
Thin shortbread cookies topped with caramel, chocolate, and pecans. Just like Turtle Candies, but with a buttery cookie crunch.
I used melted Kraft Caramel Bits when I made these, but if you want to get extra fancy, you can make a homemade caramel layer:

DAY 5: Chocolate Peppermint Bark Thumbprints
I love a dough that does double duty. I use half of this dough to make these cookies, and half to make Double Chocolate Thumbprints.
Be sure to not skip the refrigeration step. They need to chill first to hold their shape when baking.
And if you can find these precut candies, you will save a lot of unwrapping and crushing time:

I love sheet pan dinners for their easy preparation and even easier clean-up.
This smoked sausage and vegetable combination is very easy, and very adaptable. Use your preferred linked-style smoked sausage like kielbasa, andouille, or chorizo links (not loose raw chorizo). A combination of vegetables of various colors makes for a delicious and healthy dinner. I like using sweet potatoes and/or butternut squash, red peppers, zucchini, and onion.
Start cooking the longer-cooking vegetables first, then add the quicker cooking vegetables closer to the end of cooking time.
I season this with a premixed Cajun seasoning, but you can also use a combination of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika.
