Well, it’s a new year! Happy 2016. I hope you’re all enjoying the new year so far. And if not, don’t worry- there’s more than 11 1/2 months left to make it better.
I don’t do resolutions. But being that I sit here, sick with a deep chest infection (hence the absence of posts recently), I have to say seriously that one of the things I have to start doing in ’16 is take my health seriously. After the mess of last year, I’ve conscientiously went and had my physicals and blood work done almost every 6 weeks for my thyroid, but I tend to ignore “small” symptoms of cold/flu and let it go too long. I have to stop doing that.
But otherwise, I don’t do that new year, new me kind of thing. However, I do have a few things blog-related/food related that I hope to continue and keep up with.
- Posting at least once a week. Sometimes life gets hectic. Especially around the holidays, or if I get sick. But I promise I won’t ever leave like I did last year without at least explaining why- before, not after. I love this as much as anyone, it’s my baby. I want to keep doing it! However, I have to be realistic. Life will probably only get busier. Once a week minimum sounds perfectly doable, and I’ll probably do far more than that.
- Try new things. I used to be involved in the Daring Baker’s Challenge and it introduced me to so many new things. I got too busy to keep doing it, but I think I should keep trying to create new recipes. Or “new to me” recipes. Cupcakes are great and I love them, and they aren’t going anywhere. Neither are cookies or pickles or jams. But I remember making lavash crackers and an opera cake… I need to get back there again.
- Keep sharing recipes that mean something. On the other hand, I have a bunch of recipes I want to share that are either family recipes or ones that mean something to us. That won’t- or shouldn’t- stop.
Is there anything you want me to do in 2016? A certain kind of recipe, certain foods, maybe another Q&A? Let me know.
I’ll see you very soon with a new(ish) recipe.

Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!

tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple
ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to
share it with someone!
