Mississippi Public Broadcasting has a cooking show called ’ Fit to Eat’. The recipes are more than low cholesterol and very tasty.
We watch ‘Fit to Eat’ on the PBS Create program.
Lots and lots of things to explore with the new regimen!

This will be something for me to look up! I think I have Create on my system.

I also want to find ways to add more protein and vegetables to our diet (besides the daily salad). I foresee a lot of beanz & greenz type o’ dishes, especially while it’s still colder than a witch’s teat out there

Also leaning into a better variety of high-protein lower-fat in the coming year. I’ve lost 20 pounds since July; what’s worked is a slight daily calorie deficit and enough nonfat yogurt to fill a cargo ship. I turn 70 next month and hope to lose a few more pounds to maintain optimal health. Tip o’the day, if it’s not in the house you can’t eat it.

I held true to using more items from our freezers for meals however, I think for every item I used up, another went in! So for this new year, I vow to continue that task and work on creating more home made carbs. Bread has become prohibitive in cost and I have the time now to bake my own. My The Tassajara Bread Book will be revisited again.

Yes… I did the same thing to some extent. I need to “dig the freezer” and look for some pork chops for later in the week.
When I dig the chest freezer, I try to put the newest stuff on the bottom and bring the older items towards the top, so they can be eaten.
I have a few “single serving” leftovers, I need to move… as well.

I’m also gonna try to use things up. I have about 2T of teff, so I’m making blini tonight. (I also have some caviar, so that did factor in.)

I have an upright freezer in the garage in addition to our refrigerator freezer (on top). Both have their own plastic bins. The behemoth in the garage is organized with those for: meats (red) , poultry, seafood, berries. Grains and flours, butters, cheeses go in the door and everything else gets squeezed in between. The indoor freezer on top of our frig has two bins: one for bits and bobs of spices, herbs, fruits, etc. The other bin is for proteins. It all works for me. I just need to dig in there frequently.

Gosh that new year came up FAST!
Renewing my intention of trying ONE new recipe each week — ideally from my massive NYT collection, but any source is fair game, really.
Watch me fail

Congrats. I share your desire to enter my Goldens lighter.
Santa brought me an early present of a gym membership, that I’ve been using now for a week. I’ve already dropped about a pound.
I used to be a total gym rat and obsessed over body composition. Muscle is SO hard to build (and easy to lose), and SO important to Golden health and happiness. Preserving muscle mass WHILE slowly losing fat is really ideal. No weeks of canned tuna and mustard at my stage in life, but eating cleaner and less, and dialing back on Demon Alcohol…
Selfishly for me, muscle burns calories just sitting there, which allows eating more without storing them as fat.
I’m going to try to move beyond the usual Greek seasoning I use on nearly everything (garlic, onion, thyme, oregano). I might even crack open a cookbook to see what else is out there.

I’ve enjoyed Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel Sesame Blend” and their “Everything but the Elote Blend”. Also Tajin Classico chile/lime.
I like their Chile Lime too (which is a Tajin sub, but less salty, which I prefer).
And there’s a Cuban citrus & garlic that’s good.
But my favorite is the Onion salt, which has onion, garlic, chive, and some other things.
Continue with getting organized, learn to make hard cheese, master baguettes and croissants, grow some food. Now, if only someone else would do the housekeeping…

I take it you are familiar with The Baguette recipe? It’s been all over my Fb WFD and local cooking groups. I don’t bake myself, but everyone who’s made it loves it. A friend who sadly moved to Maine last year made the most incredible bagels and croissants.
I can dig it out if you are interested 
Nope. I baked my first successful one just the other day. I’d love to have a link to the recipe.
Bagels! Yes, that is another good goal. This is a carb loving household.

Please report back! Especially on the ease of it, as I may just talk my PIC into giving them a try
