I have made it through day 13 of reading the Bible in 90 days. I have made it to day 7 of walking for at least 10 minutes a day, and have started to read a book while walking on the treadmill. First it started by reading my Writer and Writer's Digest magazines. I came upon an article about how Richard Goodman published his first book while in his 40's. So, out of curiosity I borrowed the book from the library. His book French Dirt is very interesting. Having grown my first vegetable garden last year and having traveling abroad, I find his book very unique and enjoyable.
It has been inspiring considering my own age right now. I know I would not have read it, or heard about it, if I had not had the magazine subscription. I am so happy I had time to read through them while getting my walking challenge off to a good start.

New Foods List for 2010 ~ Starting the year out with more good food
Swiss chard is now included in our meal plans. One day I spent the morning in my pajamas, sipping coffee, and watching Food Network. I actually have a journal specifically for recipes I see and would like to try. I am usually a fan of certain chefs, however this time, watched a different one.
I made Saucy Salmon and served it with couscous and my family raved about it. In fact, my husband starting packing up two servings and actually drove it over to his nephew's house. He wanted his nephew and his wife to try it. I wasn't even finished with mine when he was doing this either. That tells you how much he liked it. He devoured it.
I made the recipe exactly as the recipe stated, however I did not use the whole dried chili peppers. I could not find them at our local grocery store. I'm sure that when I do find them, and make the recipe again, it will taste even better. The swiss chard was very tasty with the flavors this recipe used. In fact, the only swiss chard I could find was actually organic.
Although I have actually eaten couscous while in Africa (many moons ago), my family had not. This was also something different for meal time.
