Hello 2014!

I fell asleep on the couch way before midnight on New Year's eve.  Leaving the champagne corked in the refrigerator, and the sparklers unlit.  The new year creeped in quietly in our house, and with the exception of flipping the calendar page, not much else has changed.

I am not really a believer in resolutions, because they are seldom followed, and most of the time may you feel bad about yourself that you couldn't pull it off.  I was inspired by some of the other blogs I read, because they set more attainable goals, that they actually reached.  So I have decided to set 1 goal a month, but not something overly ridiculous, and after that goal has been reached- set a new one for the next month.

The first goal I set is to bake my way through the "Babycakes" cupcake cookbook I got myself for Christmas.  I am just going to bake the gluten free recipes, and I began this goal yesterday.  The result was not picture worthy, because I added chocolate chips and failed epically.  Baking gluten free is very different from traditional baking.  There is no ad-libbing, you can't just toss in some of this or some of that.  Lesson learned.


My overall goal for 2014 is happiness.  

xo Dinah!
