| Happy new year, AK fam! I hope you have a lovely rest of your holiday season and are easing into the new year. We've had our fair share of holiday chaos with the kiddos and house remodel, but all in all, I'm so looking forward to this fresh new chapter. If you didn't catch it on social, I have some news...I'm writing a cookbook! It has been my dream for years to write one and I began the process this summer. It's truly a labor of love but I'm SO excited to be able to share it with all of you. Stay tuned for fun behind-the-scenes updates on Instagram, and let the countdown begin to fall/winter 2024! AK Recipe of the Month is HERE. That's right, we've re-branded the AK Dinner Party to the AK Recipe of the Month, and January's recipe is now live! We're making my Healing Curry Butternut Squash Lentil Soup. The giveaway deets are all the same, so head to this page to check out the recipe and get cooking this month.

It's truly perfect for dry winter skin, but don't take my word for it -- scroll down and check out all of the reviews here.

Breakfast: Immune Boosting Wellness Smoothie Start your new year right with this gorgeous green smoothie filled with fresh ginger, turmeric, spinach, honey & delicious fruits. This one's great for digestion and packed with anti-inflammatories! . 
Lunch: Vegan Egg Roll in a Bowl Abra and I tested this recipe a few years back and couldn't believe how easy, fun, and flavorful it was! Such a great plant-based lunch for busy weeks.
