January Resolutions.


Well it's that time of year. Time to eat healthy, save money, do good for the world so on and so forth. I would like to meet the person who make a resolution to drink more wine, eat more chocolate and try at least 100 new cheeses...

So what should the "diet" be. Do we watch our points, calories, carbs, refined sugars or change our plate size? Does our food need to be organic, local, sustainable, cheap or just taste like cardboard so we know we are really working on that resolution?

Like 90% of the population in the good old US of A, I seem to think January is some magic time to start anew with food. I wonder where that tradition started, probably some ad agency. But I also know that if I have to eat boring food then I'm probably not going to stick with any plan for long. "THEY" (anyone know who THEY are?) say everything in moderation but I'm not convinced as if it were that simple we'd all have it figured out. Also THEY must not have access to good wine (or Ridel wine glasses) because they are the same people who think 6oz is a serving of wine.

So stay tuned as during the next week, in honor of the new year I will have a week of menus that meet the needs of many of our New Year's resolutions but hopfully taste good.
