I have a few New Year’s resolutions. ย I want to be better and do better… you know, easy stuff like that. ย Do you have resolutions? ย Be faster and stronger and cuter and smarter? ย Cut down on the sugar? ย Take Joy the Baker’s blog out of your feed?
Now waaaaaait a minute… before we do anything too brash.. I have a few New Year’s Resolution suggestions you might like to take into account.
Maybe you want to resolve to see more sky in 2011. ย That could be nice.
Maybe you want to resolve to drink wine where they make wine.
2011. ย It’s your year. ย Get a kitten.
Take a road trip with your sister? ย 2011 seems like as good a year as any!
Resolve to find happiness in potatoes and eggs.
Read some books. ย Drink some booze. Make friends. ย Eat butter. ย Enjoy cookies.
This is part of my resolution. ย To be sure.
Watch people who are in love say nice things to each other, exchange rings and kiss. ย Weddings. ย Also… eat cake.
And if you’ve resolved to eat more salad… do it with your Dad at a salad bar. ย Don’t skip the ranch dressing.
Happy New Year to you! ย May this new year bring you all sorts of good things and happy surprises.
Love,
Joy

These are some pretty awesome resolution ideas! …I may have to steal that one about getting a kitten :)
My personal foodie resolutions include learning to properly cook MEAT annnnnd attempt to overcome my bias and prepare a few totally vegan dishes. Yes ma’am 2011 is going to be a delicious year!
Your resolutions have some pretty sweet yielding results, not going to lie :)
I love your idea of resolving to see more sky… I think I’d like to try that myself :)
Happy New Year!
Joy!
I totally LOVED your kitten pictures – that little guy sure is cute! My fav was the one in the middle –
where he’s apparently looking out at you and screaming “MOM-MA!!” Absolutely precious!
I have two grownup cats of my own at present, as well as having had many more throughout my life. They certainly can be entertaining!!!
I also love to read about your adventures in and out of “food-land.” Everyday I just gotta check up on ya! You’ve my favoritest (is that a word?) blogger (with or without food)! And of course, I really have fun with your recipes… There are a lot that I can’t make because I can’t have the ingredients (have diabetes & in renal failure). Or that I’m allergic to – like coconut or palm-anything. But I still enjoy reading about them ;)
I love kale, spinach, almond milk and pears. Used to love bananas and soy milk (Sigh – forbidden now!)… BUT I draw the line at making this GREEN Smooothie! Sorry – just the thought of THIS one is just yuckie to me! I repeat – SORRY ’bout that! My “adventurous little soul” just says NO, even if I didn’t put in the banana! This was a first for me, regarding all your other wonderful recipes. Keep up the good work!

I don’t make resolutions, but if I did… those are some pretty awesome ones you’ve listed.
(especially the one about the kitten)
>^..^<
My New Year’s resolution is not only to see more sky but to be IN the sky. I am trying to get over my fear of flying. It really cripples me but I just can’t bring myself to get on a plane. I haven’t gotten on one in about 15 years!
ah, the kitten in the punch bowl- i’ll drink to that!!
happy new year, joy!
Joy! Is that salad bar Souplantation?! That’s my absolute favorite… I can spot a Souplantation a mile away….
Ha! What’s hilarious is that I read “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” with a girlfriend of mine last year. We read, drank, and laughed together. :D
Beautiful pictures, as usual. ^_^ Happy New Year!
Beautiful photos!! <3
This is a great post, so fun and fresh with the pictures. I have definitely started my own list, thanks for the tips!!
Loving all the recipes lately. It’s been a habit of mine to forward a recipe I see that I want to try to my best friend who lives with us and tell her to get into the kitchen and MAKE THIS NOW!!! She often obliges me and so your blog makes living in tight quarters with many people much more enjoyable!!
Thanks!!!
Also, I know you’re probably SO busy but I wanted to ask one more time if you used any certain blog photo templates with these collages. I’ve been looking for some to use and I just don’t see any I really like. I love these. I probably should just make some myself… but I wanted to ask you first and see. :)
So, it’s only a few hours till 2012 – did you get a kitten??? :P Really love the blog!
