✨ New Year’s Eve | Goodbye 2025 ✨

Whew… we MADE it.
The lessons were loud, the growth was undeniable, and the blessings still showed up—sometimes wrapped in disguise. 😌

Tonight isn’t about rushing the clock. It’s about reflecting, resting, eating GOOD, and setting the table for what’s next. Keep what nourished you. Release what drained you.

👉 Drop ONE word that sums up your 2025.
👉 Save this post and come back when the ball drops.

2026 is warming up… and we’re walking into it full, focused, and grateful. 💚🍽️🥂

Whew… here we are. 🥂✨

The countdown is officially on. One day. Four hours. Zero minutes.
The corks are chilling, the menu is forming, and the energy is real calm but real intentional. 😌

As we close out 2025, we’re doing it the Love of Food way — good food on the table, good people around it, and gratitude in every bite. No rush. No pressure. Just presence.

Toast to what carried you through. Release what didn’t.
We’ll meet you in the new year full and ready. 💛

👉 Drop what you’re cooking or sipping as we count down.
👉 Save this post to revisit when the ball drops.
👉 Tag who you’re toasting with tonight.

Good food. Good energy. New beginnings loading. 💛

Because the holidays don’t hit without good food + good music. 🍽️🎧
This mix is straight soul — Luther, Anita, Mary, gospel vibes, and just enough Afrobeat to keep you moving while the food is working. 😌🔥

Turn it on.
Turn the heat up.
Let the kitchen (and your spirit) be full.

🦃✨ The Day After Thanksgiving Question of the Day!

Alright y’all… it’s officially Leftover Friday 👀
And I gotta know:

HOW LONG do you keep Thanksgiving leftovers?

’Cause listen… it’s only Day 1, but some of y’all already stretching that macaroni like it’s supposed to make it ‘til December. 😅

Food safety says 3–4 days max — but my auntie swears her dressing is still “good-good” on Day 7. 🙃

So tell me…
Are you Team “Freeze It & Keep It Cute” or Team “Warm It Up Until God Says Stop”? 😂

🍽️🧡 Happy Thanksgiving from Love of Food! 🧡🍽️
Listen… may your turkey be tender, your mac be cheesy, your yams be giving candy-coated comfort, and may nobody show up with that one dish we all pretend to like. 😌😂

Today we’re grateful for good food, good people, and the beautiful culture that flavors every bite. From our kitchen to yours—
eat good, laugh loud, love deep, and season like your ancestors are watching.

Happy Thanksgiving, fam!
