New Year’s food resolutions
December 30, 2021 by DarcieLooking back at the post I wrote in 2019 about New Year’s food-related resolutions, I am amazed at how positive it sounded. Just a few months later the world would be turned upside down by the coronavirus and lockdowns. Because 2020 was such a messed up year, I didn’t even bother with resolutions for 2021. That’s a good thing, because this year didn’t pan out much better than the previous one.
However, I have my fingers crossed that 2022 will not be a repeat of either 2020 or this year, so I will venture into the realm of resolutions once again. Since I am in the midst of a DIY kitchen renovation, I have not been cooking or baking much at all and I am eager to get back into the swing of things by next spring, assuming we don’t find any other surprises (remodeling a 100-year-old house is not for the faint-hearted). My number one goal is to organize the newly-created pantry that I stole from a room we used as an office. I have been to every home organization site I can find, looking for the best ways to utilize the space. There are so many different ideas and products that it is difficult to settle on any one system, but I have a plan that I will follow as soon as the shelves are in place. First, we need to do drywall and a floor (the photo above is not from my pantry), so I have not pressed the order button quite yet.
My secondary resolution is to make better use of the filters in the EYB Library for recipes I want to try. This year I started sitting down with new cookbooks and flagging all of the recipes as either “I want to cook this” or “Recipes to try”. I am using the former for savory items and the latter for sweets to give it a further breakdown. What are you food or cooking related resolutions for 2022?
