The Goal

I have been in a serious funk lately.  I just can't seem to find a good motivation for life.   That is a depressing statement but sadly true.  I needed something to get excited about.  So I decided 2011 was going to be the year I find that.  You know with all the blogs that do the word for the year.  I've decided my word for 2011 was New.  New Outllook, New Attitude, New Adventures, New Challenges, New Furniture, New Workouts, New Schedule, etc.  New New New!

I started with a silly goal on one of my cookbooks I just bought.  52 Weeks of Proven Recipes for Picky Kids.  Once a week I was going to cook their menu plan.  It wasn't working out so great some of the recipes were just not an option.  So here on the third week of January I'm changing the goal.

 Here is the new goal.

I'm going to cook something new out of everyone of my cookbooks this year.  All 99 of them.

Cookbooks are one of my passions.  I would have a whole room dedicated just to them if I could.  I own so many and I've never even used at least half of them.  I don't expect many people to read this blog but it will be my journal.  I hope to post a picture of each recipe.  This will be also a New thing.  New more techinally savvy person who knows how to take her own pictures off her digital camera.

I was inspired by my brother Dave.  If he can wear a tie everyday of the year I can try something new from each of my cookbooks.
