New Cookbooks!

Today in the mail I got 2 cookbooks I ordered a week ago. They are:

Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen: Cooking For Trouble and Chef Michael Smith's Kitchen.

Two totally different styles of cooking but both look to be fantastic. I love watching Bitchin' Kitchen and I own and use Michael Smith's The Best of Chef at Home.

If you get a chance check them out! You're in for some tasty goodies!

12 for 2012

I saw this on another blog (but for the life of me can't remember which one) and thought it would be a great idea. A little late but here it is: My 12 goals/resolutions for 2012.

1. Break my nasty little procrastination habit. This one is going to take some work. I meant to do this post a lot sooner and just kept putting it off.

2. Be healthier. This includes eating healthier, drinking more water and making it to the gym 3 times a week. Doing okay so far, drinking more water (which I need to be ice cold) is hard when it's this freaking cold out. So is hauling my butt to the gym as I walk there and back.

3. Quit drinking Coca-Cola. Technically this falls under Be healthy but because I can easily drink a can a day it gets it's own place. Today is day 14 without one. Go me.

4. Graduate school and get a job. Fairly obvious. I'm in my last semester of school and then hello job market.

5. Make more of an effort to stay in contact with family and friends. Since I've started school I feel like I've been neglecting this.

6. Update this blog more often. I keep saying that I will but I haven't. Bad procrastinating Knotts, BAD!

7. Start getting the student loans paid off as fast as I can. This will only happen once I get a job or I've miraculously won the lottery. I'm not holding much hope that I'm going to win the lottery.

8. Go and get my driver's licence. I'm going to be 32 this year, it's probably time I did this.

9. To cook more (and new) meals this year.

10. To finally get a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. This will be on my birthday wish list.

11. To take more pictures and post them. There are a lot of things over the past year I didn't take pictures of and I'm kicking myself. I'm also contemplating getting a new camera but this again falls to getting a job or winning the lottery.

12. To stay on top of the house keeping and not let it pile up. The procrastination bug hits again!
