Happy NEW YEAR!

Ok so I know I am late but at least I am still within the week! I have been making bread with my new machine. Today if I choose I will make cinnamon rolls. I must say though with my current circumstance I am not sure they would be in my best interest. I did not make any resolutions this year about my eating habits and from the look of things I should have! I have osteoporosis and that is why my TMJ happened. Now that I know that every creak I hear in my body slightly panics me. Alas I am NOW on a band wagon to get healthy! Sugar, coffee and alcohol are the biggest contributing factors outside of genetics. So I am reducing those things in my lifestyle. This is sad but I also see it as a challenge! I have been eating a TON more salads and hoping to get in shape using my wii fit!

SO that being said I am making Split Pea Soup and salad for dinner and we had soup and salad for dinner last night TOO!

I like Emeril and he has some great recipes too! I also use his favorite salad dressing too! I didn't soak the peas as the package said it didn't need it so we will see if this soup is chunky or not :)
