As we roll into the new year I often wonder why so many people choose January to start new healthy living regimes. I get the new year/new you approach but as, here in the UK, we typically have our coldest weather in Jan and Feb I really am not ready to stop eating comfort food and definitely not too motivated to go out for a run or a walk. I definitely need to lose some weight but for me it's mostly about exercise rather than the food I eat so January sees some comfort food favourites on the menu and a plan to brush of the Wii Fitness "games".
For 2016 I'm going to continue posting our monthly menu but then go back to something I used to do - a weekly recipe roundup on a Sunday with an occasional single recipe post for something that has a back story, or is particularly delicious! I'll add the links to the monthly menus for any recipes that get a mention. One of my new year resolutions is to stop my hubby and son diving into dinner before I can take a picture!!
