Eating Normal's 2023 Resolutions

2/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Am I a month late? Absolutely. However, We’re all resolving to be different in the new year, and for me, that always starts with food. How will Eating Normal be going into 2023? Well…

1. Start Composting Food Waste

I carry a lot of guilt about food waste. It’s especially hard as a single woman with very few friends in the area to share my creations with when I am recipe developing. I have signed up with Greener Bay to begin composting my food waste, and in the month that I’ve had my bucket hiding in my pantry, I already feel less guilt about experimenting with my cooking. Even if I don’t eat EVERYTHING, I know it will have a second life.

If you’re interested in doing the same, please check out Greener Bay’s website for additional details. Pickup and Drop Off options are available depending on what’s best for you.

2.Cook Even More

I’ve started to fall back onto old habits as a single woman, one of those being my dear friend the instant ramen packet. Feeding only myself and struggling with food waste guilt has really changed the way I cook. I know I deserve to eat better, whole foods– but God, is it hard to do that just for me. I’ve been cooking for other people my entire life. If it wasn’t my husband, it was my parents before him. Now that it’s just me, it’s hard.

Now, cooking for me at this point is as simple as making myself hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

But 2023, I will make myself do it.

3. Make Cooking Videos

I’ll continue to try my hand at short form cooking tutorials like you’ve seen from me already in 2022, but with more frequency.  The current food media climate is built on them. Playoff football and the Super Bowl are coming quickly, so expect snack related videos in the month of February. 

4. Admit Defeat– Cookbook of the Month

I have never, ever, in the history of this blog managed to do a cookbook every single month of the year. It’s over, folks. We’re closing that segment. I may review a cookbook every once and awhile, but with the belt tightening as I work through divorce, I just can’t afford a new cookbook every month even if I wanted to.
