My goals for 2024 are going to be simple. I still want to read great books, and do great things that challenge me, but I also want to live and give my self grace.

Today has been a beautiful day. I finally did something I needed to do which was get a massage. It really helped me to relax and relieve some of the pain in my back and neck.
I sit for 9 hours a day and my body pays for it. I finally did something I needed to do and scheduled a massage.
This was not the cheapest option, but man it was a great one.

On the menu today is Bacon Chowder. This an AIP recipe that I tweaked. The original had fish in it and that is a NAY NAY!!
Bacon, onion, sweet potatoes, and stock is all it takes to make a delicious soup that will make everyone think you have been in the kitchen for hours.
start by frying up six pieces of bacon. After it is halfway done, throw in the onions. Once the onions are cooked as well as the bacon, remove to a bowl. then throw in your sweet potatoes. You can use white sweet potatoes or regular sweet potatoes. It does not matter for this recipe. Throw in enough stock to cover and simmer til fork tender. After, puree the sweet potato and broth mixture. Get it to the consistency you like (I leave in several chunks). Throw the onion and bacon back in and serve.

The weird thing about this week is that the only thing I really needed to make the food was the beets from giant. I was out of a lot of stuff (like butter, flour, and sugar) which I got at Aldi and since I was at Costco, I went and picked up some honey as I hate going to Costco. Let's see if we can make that number really small next week.

Hello all,
If you don't remember, 2022 was the year I spent in and out of the hospital and doctor's visits. I am fine now, but it gave me a new appreciation for health. I cannot believe I took my health for granted all of these years.
At the end of the year 12/30, I was told I no longer had to go back to my surgeon's office. They let me know that if I had a recurrence of symptoms to make an appointment, but that I was okay to live my life. I just wanted to say that is the scariest thing I could hear, but I am going to do my best to make the most of the life I have left (I am 44 looking at 45 later this year, just a spring chicken).
This year, I am going to have some new adventures and try to get out a bit more. What are you looking forward to this year?
