As I write this, I'm sitting in the Air France lounge in Paris, on my way to Budapest for a work trip. And eating. I'll fill you in when I get back, but in the meantime, you can follow along on my Instagram.
This issue features the topics from my segments this week on Indy Style: 1. My homemade pork ramen recipe using my new Dash Dinners Pork Ramen Spice Kit! Talk about comfort in a bowl. We now offer free shipping on orders of $30 or more.
(Indiana and Ohio peeps: If you live in Evansville, Fort Wayne, Michiana, Indiana, or Cincinnati, you can also order through Market Wagon, an online farmers market.
2. My personal drink recipes and tips for sticking with your "Dry January" commitment, including a refreshing Citrus Smash POMtail and 3-Ingredient Hot Cocoa. I didn't do Dry January personally, but I think it's a great way for some people to hit the reset button. Generally speaking though, I do like to cut back on alcohol after the holidays and vacation.
Bon Appetit! Michelle
