Winter Cooking

My favorite thing about winter is FOOD! Lets face it, food is 0ne of my favorite things period! I do however think that in the winter family dinners happen more often. I am not sure I can attribute it to the colder weather or the many holidays that happen come winter but I love it! I am a sucker for family dinners!

A few friends and I steadily exchange recipes and this year many of them are centering around slow cookers. I must admit I am not too familiar with my slow cooker but the idea is fabulous! I work Monday to Friday and would like nothing more than to come home to a mouthwatering dinner - ready to eat! In our house we have decided to have once weekly dinner gatherings and I am going to commit to using my slow cooker this season as much as possible.

2010 - Oh the possibilities!!

I hope you all survived the holidays and are happily entering the new year! This year is going to be a great one..I can feel it.

It may have to do with what happened in my life over Christmas this year.. My boyfriend Dave and I got engaged on Christmas eve, in Tofino. It was super romantic and everything I'd always hoped it would be. We are thinking that it we will shoot for August of 2011 to make sure we are sufficiently prepared!

This year I am focusing on making goals and attaining them. I have decided to make a short list as well as a long one. I'm thinking six month goals and year long ones, I have never before written down and committed to completing "goals". I think it a great step towards growing up.

Do you have any resolutions or goals for this year?
