My food-related New Year's resolutions? Well, I intend to try some recipes that I've been meaning to do for a long time, such as macaroons and Croatian home made strudel dough. Maybe I will explore savory dishes more, that one would be nice too :)
And I now liked Savory Spice shop on FB :)
I really need to try to include even more fresh veggies this year.
My food-related New year's Resolution is to call my Mom, and have her dictate her recipe she always used for her Pork Chops --- and then burn it !!! My poor Mom could dry out pork chops like nobody else in this world, and even she will admit it :o)
Seriously though, Happy New Year too, to one and all, even you Mom!

A friend of mine makes this very delicious bread (that is also served at church for communion - it's THAT good!) and I'd like to learn how to make it. I know she has a "starter" in a jar on her kitchen counter. That's all I got, but I'd like to learn the technique and try it myself. Great giveaway! Wonderful blog! Merry (belated) Christmas and cheers for a blessed 2012.

We're with you on that resolution
Thanks Tamara, can't wait to see what you come up with on Bite My Cake
No better way to improve your cooking than getting away from the canned veggies. That was one of our goals when we started Season with Spice.
Hi Steven, next time your mom makes those overcooked pork chops, just chuck them in a soup with a bunch of fresh vegetables, and simmer for a couple hours. You'll have a new appreciation for your mom's "recipe". Happy New Year!
That's great, keep those traditional recipes alive. Happy cooking in 2012!
Thanks Nicole. Homemade bread pieces over the stale wafers? I'm sure this church is very popular. Good luck with the recipe, and have a Happy New Year!
The resolution we all need to follow in 2012. Thanks Nancy
Thanks for the reminder. I better make a promise to Reese too. I promise not to break so many dishes this year...
Stay tuned Leann, we should have a couple fish recipes (Malaysian-style) on Season with Spice soon
We can sympathize with you there, Stef. Trying to make a pie crust in a tropical climate is always a struggle. Good luck with your goal!
Um.... eat less portion (of food)... that's my #1 bigggest resolution! Sorry you probably wanted to hear "I will bake more" from me? Heheheh. Well, I'll put that also. =P Happy New Year Reese and Mark! It was great meeting you this year and I look forward to your new posts in 2012!
Thanks, I'm good about it in summer and fall, but not so good in winter. ;-)
Try more new fruits and vegetables! This year I tried, for the first time, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower. On my list for 2012 are celeriac, rutabaga, and quince, among others.
I'm going to reduce the amount of processed foods my kids eat.

My resolution is to learn to make flour tortillas I'm happy with - I've tried a few recipes and none of them turned out the way I wanted them to, but the ones I can get in stores around here are pretty bad.
2011 was a "lost" year in the "healthy lifestyle" area. Not sure what happened but I have decided that 2012 will be a "take back control" and "get my weight loss / weight management back on track". That will mean less fats and salts, leaner meats and more veggies. That also means more spices and spice combinations to make everything taste more appealing. This would be a great start in new spices for my "creations"

Eating less is always the most difficult resolution. We changed ours to eat more! Eat more healthy foods.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Nami!
Look forward to seeing the veggie recipes you come up with on Katie at the Kitchen Door
We tried our best to eat less processed food in 2011, and can tell you it is a very reasonable goal if you make the extra time per day to cook. Good luck Suzanne!
We second that!
Good luck Courtney, just start with simple recipes and you'll be a cook in no time
That's a great goal, Joni. Eating more diverse foods is not just healthier, but always a learning experience for the kids too.
Good luck with the cookbook, Carrie!
Us too. All the best in 2012!
If you make the time, you will have no trouble at all. Good luck Lo!
Hi Tracy, you've come to the right place then. Plenty of unique recipes on Season with Spice - from us and from our contributors around the world featured on our homepage. Good luck with your goal and have fun!
Love how specific this goal is. Makes it that much easier to accomplish. I think we will all start making homemade waffles if we all read the ingredients of frozen ones. That was one of our resolutions in 2011 - read ingredients at the grocery store. It will change your life. Good luck!
Good luck Cindy. Even if the first few tries don't turn out perfect, at least your house will have a wonderful aroma. Enjoy that homemade bread!
Absolutely, good luck Jasanna
Good luck Kathy!
Yep, it's all about making that extra time, and planning ahead. Good luck Rosemary, you sound determined enough to make it happen. All the best in 2012
That's great Betsy, Indian food is so flavorful with all those spices. We have many Indian contributors to Season with Spice, so check our homepage often for Indian recipe ideas. All the best in 2012!
Resolutions for life. Good luck and Happy New Year!
Whatever it takes (just mince them and they'll never notice). Good luck Sara!
If you find that perfect tortilla recipe, do let us know. We'd love to give it a try. Good luck in your search!
Hi Kathie, we like your optimism for 2012. Spices are a wonderful way to start. The more spices you use in your cooking, the less you need of unhealthy salt and sugar to flavor your dishes. We wish you all the best in the New Year!
Hi Anne, be sure to check the homepage of Season with Spice for recipe ideas. We have many vegetarian contributors. Good luck with your goal!
Very reasonable goal, Gina, and a delicious one. All the best, and Happy New Year!
So many cuisines out there to try. Have fun exploring and enjoy your Bibimbap!
So much healthier (and cheaper). Good luck and have fun cooking!
Everyone has to start sometime. Never too late. Good luck Roxy!
Mine is to cook more new dishes!

Add a little spice and he'll never realize just how healthy all his food has become. Good luck Lori, and all the best in the New Year!
