goal 8: cook more dinners

Another failed goal! Oy.

It’s not that I didn’t cook ANY dinners, it’s just that I didn’t cook any more than I used to. Which, sadly, isn’t a whole lot.

The thing about this goal is that I WANTED to cook more dinners, I really really did, and still! I do! except for I just don’t think my heart is in it past my go-to chicken piccata and occasional turkey tacos. Plus, I’m the laziest in the food department.

Also, Zan is an AMAZING cook. Honestly, the best. And so my lazy heart just really wants a delicious meal from my one and only. Am I wrong for wanting this? Maybe, hopefully not, but still. I really need to try a little harder.

Below are some really delicious meals that I HOPE to cook in 2014.

IF WE’RE LUCKY.

dinners 1

Creamy Potato Soup // Rosemary Potatoes Recipe

dinner 2

Crispy Quinoa Sweet Potato Tacos // Eggplant, Carmalized Onion and Tomato Pasta

dinners 4

Blackberry Fennel Pizza // Easy Garden Skillet

dinners 6

Hawaiian Marinated Flank Steak // Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese

dinners 7

Blood Orange Roasted Chicken // Kale, Caramelized Red Onion, Bacon and Gorgonzola Pizza

SEND ME YOUR GOOD KITCHEN VIBES!

I’m ready with open arms.

goal 7: practice more yoga

Oh! Hey guys. Just me here realizing that it’s almost 2014 and so maybe I’d better wrap up my 2013 resolution list. {Forgot about it for a hot minute!}

I’ve got a few more updates to report. Mostly on my failings, but WHATEVER, nobody’s perfect.

This goal— yes, THIS yoga goal {PRACTICE MORE YOGA} I pretty much did NOT complete, except for the past month and a half since I HAVE actually been going a few times a week since the middle of November.

AND YET.

I don’t really know if that counts as a completed goal since I didn’t start it until nearly 2014.

Le sigh.

AND YET {again}. I do love yoga to the moon. Still. Even after all those months I didn’t go, and even after all the days I did. It soothes my soul and my mind and my body and I can’t think of a place I’d rather be after a long day at work, or on the coldest of afternoons {I do heated yoga, and it is GLORIOUS.} So! We’re bringing this goal into 2014, and 2015, and yada yada yada for the rest of my life.

Because a peaceful mind always wins.

And so does Shavasana.

Namaste. AMEN.
