I know it’s January 18 and New Years Resolutions are supposed to be 18 days underway, but… not if your name is Danielle.
Maybe that will be my first Resolution: GET IT TOGETHER DANIELLE.

Wasabi Mashed Potatoes
In my last recipe post, I talked about getting Holiday Burnout. Holiday Burnout inevitably leads to post-holiday exhaustion illness.
So immediately after Christmas, I went back to work coughy, sneezy, with a runny nose and head congestion. Which spiraled out of control and became maybe the flu, or maybe just something I ate. But most likely just my body getting its revenge for wreaking havoc on it over the holidays.

Greens and Goat Cheese Pie with Potato Crust
This Greens and Goat Cheese Pie with Potato Crust recipe is packed with veggie servings. You will think, how did she ever fit all those greens into that little potato-made pie crust? Well, I did it folks. And then, to top it off, I covered it with creamy, tangy goat cheese.

Chilled Mango Red Curry Soup with Shrimp
Leave it to me to make a chilled soup in the middle of winter.
I just got an idea and ran with it and, little did I know, when my idea came to fruition, it would taste better as a cool summery soup than as a warm wintery one. Sometimes these things happen. Whatcha gonna do? (Shrugs shoulders.)
I went to one of my favorite local restaurants last weekend and ate a bowl of mussels in a red coconut curry sauce. And ya know what? It ruined me+mussels for the rest of my life, unless said mussels happen to be hanging out in a swimming pool of delightfully creamy and smoky red coconut curry sauce. In which case, they are goners.

Herbed Beet Yogurt Dip
I finished this dip off yesterday on top of a thick piece of pumpernickel. Happy Healthy Sunday. Uh huhh.
Keleigh at Where There’s a Meal has been such a great blog friend! She posted Beet Dip recipe two of two on her blog today. Click here for the recipe. To read what I have to say about Keleigh, click here. To read what Keleigh has to say about herself and her blog, click here.
Expect to see this lady’s name and face and blog again — I’ll be asking her to do a guest post for me soon too!
Roasted Red Beet Hummus
Check out my friend Keleigh’s blog, Where There’s a Meal, to get this recipe for Roasted Red Beet Hummus.
Keleigh is a wife and mother who writes that for most of her life, she hated almost all fruits and vegetables. (Whaaaat. –> veggie-lover talking here.) Her blog is about trying new foods (and lots of fruits & veggies) and it’s about making kid-friendly and picky-eater-friendly meals. If she is willing to eat beets, I feel like she has come a long way. It’s inspiring!

Butternut Squash-Apple Soup
I’m writing this on the drive home from Nashville.
Guuuurrrrls weeeekeennnndd!
It took all my effort to shout that. I am worn out.
It’s been 10 days of travel — two very different trips, but both soooo awesome. I called the BBF nearly every day and talked his ear off. Seriously, the guy is such a good sport.

Open-Faced Apple Shallot Sandwich
We all know I’m a fan of the open-faced sandwich. I don’t think I’ve eaten a sammie with two pieces of bread since Mom packed me lunch in the 7th grade. By the way, when I was in the 7th grade, she used to send me to school with some kick-ass bagel sandwiches with horseradish. That’s right – horseradish. I was a cultured 7th grader. I probably haven’t eaten a whole bagel since then either. Now I’m just into halves. Or open-faces.
