It's Sunday and that means it's time for a NEW Sunday Thymes! Today, we are sharing what's new on the blog, some fun finds, and what we've been up to! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or just want to say hi, we love hearing from you.

A Sunday Thymes weather app screen shows a sunny day with a temperature of -11°F, feeling like -32°F. There’s an extreme cold warning and a winter weather threat about low visibility and dangerous wind chills.

What's Happening

Go IU! Yes, I am an Indiana alum and I still can't believe we won the College Football National Championship! I'm so happy!

The weather this week was craaaazzzy. I mean, we had -11 degree temps with a wind chill of -33 degrees on Friday! Some of you were hit with snow and ice. I feel your pain and hope that everyone survived.

This week was really busy with a lot of meetings, calls, and recipe testing. I am working on a lot of recipes for spring and the spring holidays. Hubby has been cleaning up the kitchen non-stop. I had one fun blooper where I was filming a reel and my phone fell into a vat of chocolate. I wish I had captured that one!

I did get a chance to catch up with a friend from college, which was special, as well as have dinner with one of my best friends. We also went out to dinner with friends last night. Friends are the best!

We are headed back to Hawaii on Tuesday and we can't wait to get out of the cold and enjoy some warmer weather. A couple of our kids will be joining us for at least one week of our trip. I will try and continue to get the Sunday Thymes out each week but if I can't for some reason, I'm apologizing in advance. I will always check my DM's on Instagram so feel free to reach out.

Recipes

With the weather being cold, I am looking for recipes that are comforting and easy. I hope you enjoy these!

Penne Pomodoro With Tomato And Basil
Penne Pomodoro is a classic Italian dish made with penne tossed in a simple tomato sauce flavored with olive oil, garlic, and fresh basil. This version focuses on balance, allowing the tomatoes to simmer gently to mellow acidity and develop depth. It's an easy, reliable pasta recipe that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for a relaxed weekend meal.
