Food Resolution

I'm not usually big on New Year's Resolutions, but I am making a resolution for this semester: I am going to make at least one nice meal for myself each week. And to hold myself accountable, I'm going to post these meals here!

Last semester was so crazy busy that I found myself eating crap food all the time. At one point I realized that a good 6 weeks had gone by without my really cooking a good meal for myself. That was depressing. And a good reflection of how crazy my life felt. I like cooking, I like food! When I don't get to cook and eat good food, I am not in a good way.

So, this semester I am going to make myself a delicious dinner at least one night a week. And I am hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to try a bunch of the recipes out of America's Test Kitchen's Cooking for Two books. I'm not going to promise that will happen every week.

Anyway, here are the first two meals I made:

Pan Roasted Pork Loin with Sweet Potatoes and Maple Butter:

And Gingerbread Cake!

And just last night, a Yummy Cheese Souffle:
