I LOVE the Ham and Pork Loaf with Apricot Glaze from The Mixer Bible. And Green Apple Chutney with Apricots and Ginger from the ATK Family Cookbook (dried apricots, not jam) was really good on grilled cheese sandwiches :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1168985530654877142007-01-16T17:12:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:12:00.000-05:00Resolutions - don't make them.

Also, I'm trying to respond to comments more. I still have time for the rest of those resolutions.<BR/><BR/>No personal resolutions really, but I have stepped up my workouts, cut out most snacks and promised myself I wouldn't have to step on a scale as long as I behaved myself and don't fall off the wagon, with my eating, for more than one day in a row or two days in the same week. That's excellent motivation because the scale is evil!<BR/><BR/>I did buy one cookbook already this year.

Yum. And I didn't have any resolutions, but now I do I just started the biggie - a re-dedication to low carb eating.

Tee hee!<BR/><BR/>My "New Year" isn't actually between Dec 31 and Jan 1, so I get a little leeway on these matters. When the rest of the world is trying new diets and lining up to buy gym memberships I avoid all that. Then when they let their memberships lapse and get tired of using the workout equipment to hang clothes and want to sell it very cheap, I am about ready to start MY year. Works out well, really. ;)DancesInGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516526687504692899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1168614582346951932007-01-12T10:09:00.000-05:002007-01-12T10:09:00.000-05:00I am still keeping up with my resolutions and it h...I am still keeping up with my resolutions and it has created a 5lb loss so far, so I need to keep at it. <BR/>Cooking healthy is new and different and quite a bit more challenging for me though.
