Are you making resolutions this year? I used to make them when I was a kid but let’s face it, I never actually kept them! I stopped making resolutions and look at it more as goals that I would love to accomplish that particular year or things that I plan to do for the upcoming year.
Looking back at 2011, one of the biggest goals I had was to turn this blog into my business. In August, I was able to quit my corporate job and focus primarily on my blog as well as the business opportunities I have had that stemmed from it. In September, I officially established Mommy Hates Cooking, LLC. As far as business goals go this past year, that was one of my biggest accomplishments, and I feel beyond blessed by reader’s who have stuck around for the ride!
My Goals for MommyHatesCooking.com in 2012:
- I am going to continue to develop my baking skills and attempt new recipes in the baking realm.
- I will try to add nutritional information to more of the recipes that I feature.
- I am launching a new website in the early months of 2012 called, Food Allergy Eats. This website will focus on recipes that are free of the Top 8 Food Allergens, it is very much under construction. Also find it on Facebook at Food Allergy Eats. Stay tuned for more details on this site.
- I will be remaking some of my recipes that were featured when I first started this site and updating the pictures. Although, I’m nowhere near where I want to be with food photography those early pictures make me cringe. They must go for my own sanity. I now know that the flash was never my friend.
- I will be remaking the bagels! Yes, for those who have been around from the beginning and read the post on my Bagel Failure…I said I would leave it to the experts. I have decided I am conquering that one and I am going to make some really good homemade bagels!
- I am hoping to write a second E-Book that will be featuring a large portion of my great aunt’s 100 year old dessert recipe collection.
- I plan to build new partnerships and continue with those already built to bring you product reviews on various different foods.
- I am going to be teaching Menu Planning classes locally in March and May, details to come for those interested.
For the most part I will be doing a lot of what I have been doing and hoping for continued growth in the next year not only for the site to grow but for my cooking and baking skills to grow. It’s been quite the journey over the last few years, and I can honestly say I have cooked more in these last few years than I had in my entire lifetime.
I am always open to hear what you would like to see on my blog as well, any particular recipes? More nutritional information? I take all of these things into consideration as I want my reader’s to be happy and come back for more!
I have literally gone from burnt oven mitts to homemade meals, and I hope each of you continue to join me on my this cooking journey!
Happy New Year’s, and I hope you have a blessed 2012! Join me back on Monday with a new recipe to enjoy!
