Be sure to check out my first and second New Year's Kitchen Resolutions if you missed them.

I actually wanted to make this a resolution last year, but I wasn't brave enough. So, I took a baby step and worked on being braver. I bought fennel, which Paul and I discovered we didn't like. I bought sweet dumpling squash, which we both loved and raved about to friends. Then there were things I had tried, but never considered attempting at home. It's time to branch out!

I've finally done it! I have made a planned menu (at least for dinners) for the week! Take a look; then, follow up in a week or so to see the results.
