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.

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.

It’s come to my attention that “professional” bloggers celebrate Thanksgiving in September and Christmas in October.
WELL. Obviously I missed the boat on Thanksgiving. But I believe that there are people out there — people like me — people who wait until the very last second to do anything — that have not picked out this year’s Christmas cookies yet.
↑ If this is you ↑, I got your back. Starting Sunday, I’m doing 7 Days of Christmas Cookies. You might want to start a sugar sabbatical now, so your sweet teeth are ready when next week hits.
(Are there any requests? Any cookie recipe you need me to experiment with for you? Let me know. I’ll try!)

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!
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!
