I have a new project in mind for 2012, and I’m hopefully starting on it today. I have collected so many new cookie recipes this past year, and haven’t actually tried any of them. So…I’ve decided to try one cookie recipe each month this year. Look for a cookie post coming soon!
Wishing everyone a happy 2012! Hoping to find a direction for my blog this year that I will actually stick to. Wish me luck!
My whole family (myself, husband, mom, sister, aunts, uncles…) is currently doing the 17 Day Diet. The problem I’m having isn’t that the food isn’t good, or that I’m feeling deprived, or even that I’m hungry. I’m just so bored! I’m having a hard time coming up with creative ways too cook lean proteins and vegetables every night. Anyone have any good veggie recipes? We could use a little more variety around here…
On the upside, I just finished week 1 and have already lost 5 pounds. Absolutely no complaints there.
I have a lot of interests. Obviously, I’m very much into music, considering my profession as a piano teacher. I love my family, my friends, and my church family. I enjoy reading (though my sister will laugh when she reads that), television, movies, nature, swimming, some sports, computers to a certain extent, playing games on the Wii…. I could go on, but I won’t.
My interests are so varied that my blog has lacked any sort of real direction. Being interested in everything makes for a pretty boring blog and makes coming up with something to write about near impossible. So…
A few days ago I had somewhat of an epiphany. There is one thing that I enjoy at least as much as music, and up till now I have neglected it completely. Food. I love to cook. I love to try new things. I love grocery shopping and am an aspiring coupon queen. I’m starting a new adventure this year with my own vegetable garden. I don’t much care for the term “foodie”, but it definitely fits me.
So, this blog is taking a turn in a new direction. I’m excited to start writing about recipes, restaurants, gardening, and all of my other culinary adventures. I’m really excited to finally have a clear direction for my blog, and can’t wait to write about what I love. I hope you’ll check back often and see what I’ve been up to.
