2012 Healthy Start

Now that the December holidays have come and gone, its time to focus on a fresh start to the year.  It is my hope that many of you made your new years "food resolutions".  My husband and I made two so far:

1. Cook dinner together more often.  Mike is a great cook and is known to make an amazing meal using just the ingredients in our pantry or refrigerator.  He will always joke around that he is the best "sous chef" out there when in reality, more often than not, it is him who takes the lead : )
2. Eat breakfast together during the week.  For those of you that know me, you will know that I am NOT a morning person!!  I have started to change my ways a bit, realizing that the morning is a great time to catch up on the previous day and to sort out the to do list for the upcoming week/weekend. 

While not a resolution, one thing we ALWAYS try to do is eat healthy.  It is not an easy task for two people that love food and wine so much.   I can't promise I am going to load all of you up with healthy recipes this month, but I will at least try to put a couple out there.  I have also found some amazing ideas on these sites:  

• www.easyeats.com
• www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes

In the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope you enjoy these new additions:

• Juicy Turkey Burgers- full of flavor!
• Crispy Haricot Vert- so easy and a great alternative to french fries!
