Success!!

Well, at the end of Week #1 of the New Year and I am staying on track.
  1. Went on a Date Night - Yup
1/5 - Me and the hubby enjoyed some yummy french food. But to be honest, any food would have been a treat. It just felt REALLY good to enjoy a warm meal without interuptions or kids complaining about eating their veggies!
  2. Tried a new recipe - Yup
Actually I have tried 2 new recipes. Ina Garten is my new food crush. I tried her scallops in pernod sauce which was awesome!! For the 2nd recipe I actually went out and bought myself a belated x-mas present...A dutch oven! Ever since I became a foodie I have dreamt of having one. To celebrate my purchase I made Ina's short ribs which are baked in an ENTIRE bottle of wine and lots of veggies and spices. I now know what fresh fennel looks like. Who knew? Of course all of these ingredients were baked and simmered in my dutch oven. (: This recipe was not as good as the scallops, but still good enough for my family of 4 to eat all 6 servings!!(:
  3. Stayed up late and enjoyed some "me time" - Yup
My new addiction..Words with Friends on my IPhone. I have been staying up until 2 or 3am playing this game..LOVE IT!
  4. Watched the biggest loser premiere while snacking on vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and   whip cream - Oh Yeah!!
I seriously did! Crying over my ice cream, loving every minute of it.
  5. Laughed more - Yup!
Amazing what good food and quality time does for me.

This whole resolution thing is a snap!(:

Hugs and Raspberries!
