The End of 2011

    So we are at the end of another year, 2011 wasn't so bad but I'm never sad to see a year end.  A new year means a fresh start, just like the dawn of a new day means a fresh start.  I do not make resolutions because I never  keep them but I do make plans.  Last year I wanted to teach myself some things and I did get every one on my list done!!
   This year I have a new plan, and it's a BIG one because it will effect many things in my life,  but it's a simple plan too.  I am going to cook something different for dinner everyday.  The reasons I have decided to do this are simple.
   1. Blaze has Asperger Syndrome a form of Autism.  He has a very hard time with change and trying new things so this is going to be a learning experience for him!!
   2. I love to cook but I am a picky eater myself so if I'm going to make Blaze try new things I'm going to have to do it myself!!
   3. It will get rid for the boxed easy to make foods that I KNOW are bad for us.  Cooking from scratch takes longer but is much more healthy.
   4. I will blog more. 

     I already know that somethings will be cooked more than once when it comes to side dishes( Blaze couldn't make it through a year eating Mashed Potatoes just once) and my husband said "what about chili"? so my answer to this is lunch will be exempt from this experiment.  Also I don't cook everyday when Blaze goes to his grandparents Keith and I go out to eat.  So this is part one of  my plan for 2012, part 2 has to do with the garden that went so well last year I'm going to make it bigger and better this year.   I haven't finished the plan for that yet but when i do I'll let you know.   I hope you all have a Happy and safe New Year!
