Hi Reader! Here they are! My mom loves the lemon ricotta pancakes from Scarlett Begonia's, so I had it on the January agenda to make my own version of them. BUT, before I even got started I was completely pressed by having to go out and get ricotta. It's just not an ingredient I use much. Greek yogurt, on the other hand, is always in my fridge! I did a couple of things to make these Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes extra fabulous: One-bowl recipe. If you use a microwave-safe bowl, you could even...

Four tablespoons of lemon zest, fresh lemon juice + a drizzle of lemon glaze over the top. Perfect. You'll need about 4 lemons total for the muffins + glaze. π A crown that's to-die for!

Hi Reader! My favorite approach to January is relaxation...truly. I don't gravitate towards 'dry January' or cleanses or anything like that. We had fun in December, good for us! Instead, I like to spend this month reflecting on what brought me joy last year and what I want to carry into this one to make it truly fabulous. In a shock to no one, baking is at the top of that list (otherwise, what would we all be doing here?!). While I do like to move my body more because that always seems to dip...
