2012 - Goals & Updates (I'm back... finally!)

Baby Nathan

Seems to be that my last blog post was last May.  Life is certainly different for me now.  My personal recipe has changed (although I have not applied the updates to my blog).  I'm a new mom now.  Our first baby was born November 10th.  He's a wonderful baby and we're really enjoying him.  Soon I will be adding "mom" to my list of ingredients (once I make my website updates that is).

For the last several months I set some of my work aside and focused on only a few jobs at hand and on preparing for baby.  Now that I have found more of a routine and have adapted to my new lifestyle I'm ready to get back to Savor Life Nutrition and to furthering my education and professional life.  I've decided since it's January (which means it's still the new year and I haven't made any New Year's Resolutions, which I never make normally), that I will make some goals for this year.

Last year I told myself I wanted to visit a working hoop house - in Michigan - in the winter.  Well, I did it.  More on that in another post soon.  So... January is covered as far as meeting my goals goes which is good because it's almost February ALREADY.  Here is a list of a few things that I might make into my 2012 goals (nothing set in stone here):

• Visit working hoop house in the winter (CHECK).
• Stop buying spices, flour etc in new containers each time - buy in bulk or by the pound!
• Sign up for a local CSA.
• Find and buy local, humanely cared for meat and only buy meat from grocery stores when something specific is needed that I can't get locally.
• Learn to cook some grains I have never cooked before.

So, these are only a few ideas and I'm willing to take suggestions for others.  I'm looking forward to learning new things this year and making some changes in the way I live and eat.

Happy Eating!  Healthy Living!
