New Year, New Me!

So many things have happened over the past few months, I can't believe it's already the end of February 2011! There were quite a few days when I didn't think I'd make it out of my winter funk, but (supposedly) spring is on its way!

Have a perfect new walking route just out my front door! My puppykins would LOVE to go for a trot. Although, the snow and single digit temperatures that are forecasted for this coming week, may hinder my outdoor adventures for a bit.

Working on my meal planning (check out my website: pinkladiesmealplanning.com) and have a few cookbooks on the way to my front door...

Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals, by Jamie Oliver
Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable MealsI had checked this cookbook out from the library and fell in love with all the simple and delicious recipes! The only thing I don't like about the book is that his recipe directions are in paragraph form. But I can (and will!) easily get over that!

No Whine with Dinner, by Liz Weiss & Janice Newell Bissex
No Whine with DinnerI did a test run of one of the recipes for these lovely ladies and had my professional photographer friend Erika (check out her website calliesportraits.com) take pictures while I made the recipe with her daughters. There is a photo of her oldest on the inside cover! As I haven't received the book yet, I don't know what else from our photo/cooking session (if any) is printed in the book. But will post another bloglet when I do receive it!

Well, that's all for now, as I need to go work on my resume. Bleck. Ta-ta for now!
