1. Cook more

I got Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking for my birthday last year and while I read it right away I hadn't cooked anything from it until today. I want to keep up with all the cooking I started last year but make it a little healthier if I can, using ingredients I wouldn't normally base dishes around.

I kept going back to the Sweet Potato Spoon Bread recipe and even though it's more fitting for a side dish at Thanksgiving it sounded like a comfort food I could handle in this cold weather we've been having. And it's a healthy comfort food, using not too much butter, goat cheese in place of marshmallows, and whole wheat flour. The dish came out delicious and I can't wait to eat it all week long, and share it with friends as there's no way I'll get through the entire casserole by myself.
