How are things going with your resolutions? \u00a0I love making goals at the beginning of each year.\u00a0 This goes back to my high school days. \u00a0My friend Amanda and I would really get into this.\u00a0 We made our goals for the new year and then put them on posters that we decorated with markers and stickers. Then we hung them in our rooms. \u00a0While I am no longer pulling out a big poster board, I do write down goals in my planner, and I must admit that they are all over the place.\u00a0 They range from things like painting the inside of two closet doors (why can I not bring myself to finish those two doors?), to living a healthy lifestyle, and doing the best I can to make tasty, quick, and easy meals that are healthier for my family.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33859\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1172-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Loaded Baked Sweet Potato\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1172-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1172-215x323.jpg 215w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1172-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>I have learned that with Little Miss now in the picture, I am\u00a0looking for faster, healthier\u00a0meals. \u00a0I have mentioned that she is a great eater, so I want to prepare healthy choices for her as much as possible. I don&#8217;t want to spend as much time as I once did in the kitchen, and I want to use more vegetables.
