HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yeah for 2011!
Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray for 2011!
As I reminisce on 2010, I’m brought to tears–tears of gratitude. The Lord has blessed me so much! I don’t feel like I deserve a lot, but He has given me so much. He is always there for me, no matter what. He has lifted me up and reminded me that I’m His daughter.
Because I want to continually improve and grow, I’ve set some goals for 2011:
–to “try a little harder to be a little better”
– to serve others more
–to think of others before myself
–continue to become more in-tune with myself
–to start taking dual credit classes at a local community college
–to pass the CLEP for College Algebra and earn some college credit
– to get more sleep at night – aka go to bed earlier; on school days, I get up at 5am to attend an early morning scripture study class, and so if I don’t go to bed at a reasonable time, I get really drained throughout the week.
–to eat more of the rainbow (aka, greater variety of fruits and veggies); try more of the “rainbow”
Questions:
One fruit/vegetable you have recently tried and fallen in love with? For me, I just tried prickly pear fruit (really good).
One food you want to try? I want to try a Chocolate Covered Pizzert! 
Your goals for this coming year?
to think of other before myself”- Totally agree.
One of my goals is to grow with a better relationship with my mom. She is incredibly hard to deal with. She makes me so crabby. I am rude to her becasue of her personality is so annoying. she just tries too hard and stresses and I can’t stand it!
Yikes, that sounded more like a goal for her! LOL
Then, I would have to say stop cussing ( i dont all the time but sometimes. )
Happy new year to you!
YES FOR THE PIZZERT- YOU MUST TRY!!!i am obsessed
i recently tried parsnips and LOVE THEM! when baked- they are kind of sweet like a sweet potato!
Which flavor of Pizzert would you recommend I try first, since I’ve never had one before?
I’m adding parsnips to my “to try” list!
i’ve recently re-fallen in love with avocados! before, i “couldn’t” eat them because of their high fat/calorie content… i was too scared. but now, i’ll eat a whole avocado and know that it’s good – the healthy fats, the amino acids, it’s fueling my body and making me so much stronger every day. i’ll toast two pieces of bread and mash a ripe avocado onto it, then sprinkle with a little bit of kosher salt. soooooooooo good!!
I love avacados too!!! Especially on bread!! Delish!
Just wondering, do you mash the avacado straight on your toast, or do you mash it in a separate bowl/plate and then spread it on your toast? I seem to always be lazy and mash it straight on my bread.
AWESOME goals girl! I need to get more sleep too!
Hi Kat! I just came across your blog
I totally hear ya on feeling really blessed by the Lord this year. Often I get so caught up in what’s going on in my life that I don’t really think about all of the blessings in it. As for foods I’d like to try in 2011, I’d definitely have to say roasted acorn & butternut squash (I’ve only had butternut squash soup!) and brussel sprouts. I’m Anna by the way!
Hey Anna! It’s nice to “meet” you!! Ooh, roasted squash — that sounds really good; I’ve never tried it before, but it sure sounds good!
fun post and great goals! happy new year
Great goals! I have become recently smitten with persimmons! I love them! I really want to try a pizzert as well and goji berries!
Great goals! I need to get more sleep too.
Pizzert is also on my list of things to make. And recently I tried kabocha squash and looooooooved it.
I never thought I liked broccoli until I started roasting it! It’s way better than raw
How do you like to roast your broccoli?
Since fall, I’ve have this obsession with sweet potatoes. I eat them weekly! I have been substituting regular for sweet because of the nutritional value, yum!

I love sweet potatoes! I totally prefer them over regular.
Gorgeous fireworks!!! Man those are fantastic pictures….
Wonderful goals!
We have such a small membership here in Florida and we’re all so spread out that we have seminary at night now!! But last year I had to get up at 5am and it was such a burden!!
Last semester I took 2 dual credit courses at my community college and it was a great experience. I would recommend taking an easy class, one you think you would be good at. I took English Comp and Student Success and both weren’t too difficult! Good luck!
One food I want to try is coconut butter!
I’m planning on taking US History and Freshman Comp this coming school year. Are you planning on taking any other dual credit classes?
I love your goal of eating more of a rainbow! More color variety=more nutrient variety!
great goals! i need to learn to use my camera better.
Love the pictures of the fireworks. So beautiful!
I just tried fresh green beans (roasted) and they are so good! I had never tried fresh green beans before. I had only tried canned and I hated them. So glad I tried fresh.
