Jan 2, 2022 · Leave a Comment

This week on Catching up with the Kelnhofers, we’re keeping it short and sweet!  It’s a new year and we’re looking forward to a fresh start.

The week between Christmas and New Years is a blur, I think we can all agree on that! But I do love the week leading up to New Years and taking a look back at the past year (and byeeee 2021)

Elf Gif Bye

Before we dive in to the newsletter, I thought I’d share some content highlights of the past year:

  • 98 new Blog Posts
  • 52 new Love Lists
  • 42 new Meal Plans – this is a series we started this past year!
  • 43 new recipe videos created + shared (they’re on the recipe blog post and on the SweetPhi Youtube!)
  • Note: all of this wouldn’t be possible without your amazing engagement and support and the help of the SweetPhi team big big thank you to them!

Holiday Season Recap

This is what my holiday break looked like:

  • Line 1: lots of cookie baking and eating/enjoying
  • Line 2: Christmas eve, and leaving cookies for santa and carrots/apple for the reindeer
  • Line 3: Christmas morning, Santa came and the kids made the holiday so magical!
  • Line 4: More holiday break fun

Amazon item you didn't know you needed header

I swear by this lotion. My hands get so dry in the winter; they literally crack open and bleed. It’s awful. The only hand cream I’ve found that works, is this (it’s only $3!)!

This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping combo that combines best of both worlds: meatballs and tangy Caesar dressing 🤩
TIP: I used Costco frozen meatballs which have a little heat to them. If your meatballs are on the plainer side, I’d recommend adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes!
