<br><b>Book:</b> <i>Magnolia Table </i> by Joanna Gaines<br><br> <b>Chapter:</b> Dinner <br><br> <b>Overall Score:</b> 12/12 <br><br> <b>Recommended?</b> Over the past few years, every time I’ve made a new beef stew recipe, I’ve silently asked it, “Are you the one?” The one that becomes the go-to, comforting dish for any chilly day. I’ve made a lot of just-okay beef stew. But this recipe. It really might be the one! Look at that perfect overall score! I even jotted down a (very unserious) poem about it while we were eating. I think you should make it, too! And maybe write a poem while you’re at it?<br>

<b>Recommended?</b> I put “make bagels” on my 2025 bingo card (i.e., the poster board I have sitting in my office with 25 goals to complete in 2025). If you have similar aspirations, I think you should absolutely do it! I had so much fun making these bagels. My favorite part: they are prepped the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is boil and bake them. Minimal wait-time for breakfast = sign me up! <br>
