8. Learn one new recipe and cook it once a week.

Hmm, clearly, this hasn't been a weekly habit.  I've been cooking more frequently though, rather than just heating up something frozen.  As far as original recipes however, I could branch out a bit more.  On tonight's menu:

Pasta with Chicken and Veggies

1 green squash

1 yellow squash

1 onion

2 cups sliced mushrooms

2 cups grilled chicken

4 cups fresh broccoli raab

1 jar of spaghetti sauce

1 pound of whole wheat penne pasta

garlic

basil

parmesan

Sautee onion, garlic, squash, and mushrooms.  Add jar of sauce to vegetables.  Boil broccoli raab for 3 - 4 mins.  Drain, mix in with sauce and vegetables.  Add basil and simmer.  Cook pasta.  Drain, mix with sauce concoction.

You can thank me for all that fiber later.
