the tip
After you drain pasta, when it's still really hot, throw some freshly grated Parmesan on it before adding your sauce. The Parmesan sticks to the noodles, your sauce sticks to the Parmesan and you have yourself a tasty dish!

Thanks to everyone for entering your new year's resolutions to enter the last giveaway. You all come from very different backgrounds and are most likely all in very different spots in your lives. Even so, there were some very common themes that ran through your resolutions. I guess we're all a lot alike in the end. Reading through all of them made me realize that the inner workings of my brain and personality are fairly common! The most popular resolutions were:
- health related (eat better, lose weight, exercise more, cook more)
- relationship related (be kind to yourself, be kind to others, be a better friend)
- goal oriented (start a business, accomplish a big task, finish something you've been putting off)
I hope that answering that question reminded you of your resolutions if you had already forgotten and helped you get back on the horse! Good luck to you and your journeys!
