New Year's Resolution - Turning Guilt into Vegetables

Every year we start out making new Goals, and resolution.

And, of course, the same ones are listed every year,

Lose Weight
Be kind
More Exercise
Safe money

I even used to Remember what I had accomplished the year before, and then counted that as my accomplished goals for the year. This worked only when I did something grand, or achieved something memorable.

What was I to do? --- I needed a new goal --

I was reading a blog from one of my Daughter’s friends, (Thanks Bethany), when I happened on what was the best goal to have . . . Eat more vegetables --- Start with Carrot Cake.

I have the best recipe for Carrot Cake, Thanks to my Sister in Law.

I love this cake, and yes, it contains vegetables. And for some Reason, it only will work in a bunt cake pan.

Start a new campaign - eat vegetables - And help attain your goals.

Happy New Year
