As we look forward to the New Year and everything that it will bring, I would like to take a moment to write down 20 intentions for 2019. Some are related to food, some to the blog, and some to random other things in my life like my house or upcoming wedding. If you like the idea of creating New Year’s Resolutions, but never actually keep them past January, I urge you to set some intentions instead. Use them as a guide to the months ahead, or use them as a long-form to-do list for everything you want to accomplish in the coming months. It’s up to you!
- Meal prep more.
- Bake more bread. Take homemade bread into work so I don’t eat all of it.
- Eat mindfully. Don’t eat mindlessly.
- Incorporate different vegetables into my meals. We rediscovered bok choy in 2018; I wonder what vegetables we’ll rediscover in 2019!
- Use cookbooks to meal prep more often.
- Accomplish more on the weekends. Now, they often fly by without me doing much of anything.
- Try making puff pastry from scratch (ala Great British Bake Off).
- Start sending out the Bookish Kitchen newsletter weekly.
- Bake a Victoria sandwich cake, and eat it with glee.
- Publish on here more frequently. At least 3 times a week.
- Read at least 50 books. (I know it’s a low number for some, but I never seem to have free time anymore.)
- Expand our vegetable/herb garden.
- Laugh often.
- Plan a wedding with no stress. (Wish me luck!)
- Eat more meals at the dining room table.
- Spend more time with my cats. (Yay for more fluffy cuddles!)
- Drink more water.
- Exercise more often. I hate it, but it’s good for me.
- Write more often for fun.
- Wake up earlier.
