Early Morning Tremor Rattles Residents in Morgan County

A minor earthquake with a magnitude of 2.6 occurred in southern Morgan County, Utah, early Monday morning. The tremor took place at 4:04 a.m., approximately 9 miles north-northwest of Summit Park, at a depth of nearly 7 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Four individuals reported feeling the quake through the USGS "Did You Feel It?" web page. No damage or injuries have been reported.

🍽️ Tasty Tuesday: New Year, Fresh Flavors 🥳

🍴 Recipe of the Week: Winter Citrus Salad 🍊✨
Kick off the new year with a fresh and zesty Winter Citrus Salad! It’s light, vibrant, and packed with nutrients to help you start 2025 on a healthy note.

📝 Ingredients:

• 2 oranges, peeled and sliced

• 1 grapefruit, peeled and sliced

• 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 cups mixed greens or arugula

• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

🥗 Instructions:

1. Arrange the greens on a large platter.

2. Top with citrus slices, fennel, red onion, and pomegranate seeds.

3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.

4. Toss lightly before serving.

🍋 Quick Cooking Tip: Maximize Your Citrus
For the juiciest citrus, roll it firmly under your palm before slicing or juicing. It breaks up the membranes and releases more juice! 🍊✨
