CK Links--Friday January 1, 2016

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it's 2016 already... and I hope you celebrated just the right amount last night. We'll be returning to regular weekly articles here at CK beginning on Tuesday, and I thank everyone for indulging me while I took a brief break from writing. Also, a warning: Tuesday's post might be a little weird.

PS: Don't forget, the easiest way to support Casual Kitchen is to buy your items at Amazon using the various links here. Just click over to Amazon, and EVERY purchase you make during that visit pays a modest affiliate commission to support my work. Best of all, it's at zero extra cost to you.
