Okay, so if any of you know me, I'm a goal setting kind of gal. When the new year comes along Phillip and I have a little tradition of going out to lunch and taking our planners and discussing things we'd like to work on and figuring out a plan or schedule. I've set a few lofty goals this year and my sweet husband is there to encourage me along the way. My mind is always going a hundred miles a minute and I am always coming up with ideas or projects and it drives the people around me nuts! With that said, I want to follow through with more of those crazy ideas! One of the ones that has been on my mind for a few months is finishing the cookbooks I promised everyone years ago. I've taken forever on this because I've changed the design and how to store them over a gazillion times. I have come to the conclusion that I need to simplify my life and just do it! When I started putting my "what's for dinner" on the side bar of my blog I got a bunch of comments and emails. That got me going even more and I am in the midst of collecting all my final decisions and I'm going to set a goal to complete them by March (hopefully this semester will allow the time). With that said, a few of you asked for my grocery list that I have on an excel spreadsheet (this will be included in the cookbook on a disk so you can add your own items also). I have one little problem...it was on our laptop and I hadn't converted it to my new Mac yet, when the hard drive crashed and yes, I lost EVERYTHING, sigh. I am going to put together a new one as I did have one printed out. I was also asked a top ten list of our favorite dinners. This could go a million ways (easiest, yummiest, quickest, etc). I will just list the top ten that come to mind alternating pork, chicken, and hamburger:
pork chops in asparagus
poppy seed chicken
meatloaf
spinach lasagna
cream cheese chicken
tacos or taco salad
country style ribs
chicken enchiladas
cream of mushroom patties
cabbage stew
So I'm a total dork and can't figure out how to attach the recipes, so if you want them before I get the cookbooks done, then just email me at nayskers@hotmail.com . Ask me questions, or give ideas.
Here's to a new year, with new goals and plans! Good luck and best wishes to anyone who set resolutions!

Eeeew! Why do people like meatloaf so much?
I'm reading "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult. The reason it looks like a giant book in that pic is because the only copy the library had checked in was in large print. hehe
Haha, Val you crack me up. I don't like meatloaf, unless I make it my way because I mix half a pound of spicy pork sausage with one pound of hamburger. I also put onions and bell pepper in it with a few other things! Yum!
I want a cookbook. I'll pay you for one!!! Or we could do a trade. I was in charge of my ward's cookbook, and so I made sure it was EXCELLENT, and super cute! I'll trade you one, for one of yours!!
Hey.. I would love a cookbook! I'll will totally pay you too! Goals are a great thing! I love having something to work towards!
