New year equals a pineapple theme I guess.
In 2014, I challenged myself to something new: I would be sure to read at least 3 new books a month and I documented that here for all to see. I read 52 books this past year, consciously always trying to have at least one or two going. I haven't done that in a long time. Accomplishment is my favorite feeling. I'm going to keep reading as much as I can in 2015 and you can follow me on Goodreads here. However, I thrive under accountability and so I’m going to challenge myself again, but in a new way.
For 2015, I will
post one new recipe each week. Let’s
back up….do you know how many recipes I’ve posted since we’ve moved to
Colorado? Not many. I went through them the other day. It’s less than a dozen. We’ve been here 7 months. Not acceptable.
The truth is that
I’ve been lacking in creativity for about a year.
Missouri happened. Then
Colorado/remodeling. The two are
synonymous to me: Colorado and remodeling.
Truthfully, I need some kind of inspiration. And inspiration in my case
usually comes through cooking or baking.
I should preface this with the fact that if I did not have a full time
job, I would gladly attempt a new recipe every day. I would welcome that challenge. I think it would be fun and creative, but I do have a job.
And it takes up a lot of time. So
I’m going to settle for one new recipe a week for 2015. I had my reading goal in 2014 and that
equaled out to a book a week…I can post a recipe a week in that case, right?
If you’ve been
following along for a few years, you’ll remember 2011. I posted a recipe almost everyday. It made me happy. Some of them were adapted recipes and most were original. Then deployment hit and I stopped doing the
food thing so much. However, it brings
me real joy so I feel the need to push myself this coming year. Persevere and all that.
I’m a goal-oriented
person. I like checking things off of
lists and following through on commitments.
My book thing makes me really happy because it was a resolution I
actually stuck to….(December books will be posted next week, by the way!)
Therefore:
A new recipe. Every week. For a year. Recipes will be posted on Mondays.
