That time of Year

So I don't make New Year's resolutions.

I never have BUT I feel compelled this year.

I don't know if I just want a good dose of failure for my self-esteem

or if I'm actually on the cusp of an adventure.

Like I said, I am totally caught up in the whole "resolution" thing.

I feel energized and excited about what I hope is a looming adventure.

My blog has sorta takin a back seat. I love to blog but have been feeling rather blah about the mundane things of life (not that Dusty and the girls are mundane but maybe just the routine of it all). So anyways, back to this resolution thing.....

I feel kinda nervous saying it all outloud

like I'm committed to my crazy and radical idea.....

So

We are going meatless.

I can't believe I said it.

Now let me clarify

because if anyone KNOWS Dusty will have just fallen off their chairs.

So this last year I have spent trying to cut out some foods that are really chemically packed...like salad dressings and processed cheeses and well lots of other things.

It's now a cinch not using them or cooking with them.

This year I want to push myself farther.

 I said meatless

but

what I really meant was

1 meal/week made out of red meat,

3 meals either chicken or fish

and 3 meatless.

So it's not very meatless at all

but

 for Dusty this is a HUGE commitment.

I am just happy he agreed (sorta).

He said, "Whatever as long as it's not gross and this is only lasting till summer time".

BAH Wah HAHAHAAHa (evil laugh)....

he clearly hasn't read the fine print.

I am excited to find some new recipes.

and expand my cooking skills.

I am excited to eat healthier.

but I am mostly excited to hear what Dusty says when he bites into his chick pea burger!!!!
