New Recipe: 17 left to try

One of my goals (Very Involved Mom) is to try 18 New Recipes. Here is #1:

Bacon, Spinach and Cream Potatoes
by Rachael Ray

Altered it slightly. I only used 1 box of spinach. Instead of cream, I used Trader Joes' Original Almond Milk. (I must eat Dairy Free foods due to eczema. It has been quite challenging for the past year and a half!!! Do you know how many dishes and desserts that we eat in this house that have some type of dairy in it? If I sneak anything with cow's milk or cheese in it, within a few hours, I'm itching like crazy!)

Also, just noticed on the recipe that there was nutmeg on the list. Oops! Forgot to add that... no problem... I'll add it to my leftovers.

This was DELICIOUS!! The adults in the family will definitely be making this again!

Very Involved Mom's 40th Year Resolutions!
-by Very Involved Mom

I've made 40 goals to achieve by the day before I turn 41 years old in May of 2012! Can I do it? As Bob the Builder would say with high energy and enthusiasm.... YES, I CAN! My goals are quite varied and doable. There are probably only about 4 of the 40 goals that involve some money. They involve giving service to others, spending much needed time with my family, becoming a healthier me, enriching the talents that Heavenly Father has blessed me, taking advantage of quiet times in my life and finally some that just needed to be written on a "To Do"-type list.

I'm SUPER excited about these goals! Hope everyone has a GREAT New Year and for me.... A GREAT 17 months ahead!
