As I mentioned in my blog post about my new year’s resolutions, I’m trying out a new project this year that’s meant to reignite my passion for cooking (which has severely petered down the last several months due to all the dietary changes I’ve been making). There’s a theory that says that you need to …
Partly due to my failure to complete any of my resolutions last year and partly due to all that I’ve learned and postulated about habits vs. goals in the past few years, I’m doing my new year’s resolutions a little bit differently in 2016.
