[...] Last year I made a list of food goals for myself – and I am happy to look back at them, and see that I accomplished every single one, even though I don’t think I looked at the list once since I wrote it. The only thing I didn’t accomplish was getting sheep and goats. But that is in the works and will *hopefully* be happening this spring. The barn is just waiting for them! [...]

Hi Johanna, Unfortunately I can’t do soy – I have a very bad sensitivity to it in large or cumulative doses. But I am looking into coconut flour as another option….it is going to come down to whether I want to eat local – and use local whole wheat flour soaked, or whether I want to use non-local but easier…hard to decide, and I haven’t as of yet.

nice to read such sensible writing on healthy eating – if only it was a matter of reducing calories it would be easy but there are always so many factors as I find when losing or gaining weight. I’d like to start making sourdough so will be interested if you get into this – and re the grains, are you able to eat soy as I love using soy flour as of the range of gf flours I use

I can relate to all of your goals – especially the making your own dairy and nightly ice cream. I actually quit the nightly ice cream quite a while ago and have been eating homemade applesauce or organic yogurt with some of my favorite toppings. I actually dropped in to find out what kind of yogurt maker you use because I haven’t started doing that yet and want to.

I am grateful you posted about the CRAZY diet the trainer had you on. I don’t think all trainers are that extreme – I have athlete friends who believe firmly in eating fat. Golly gee, our brains can’t function without it! No wonder you melted down.

Looking forward to watching what you do this year, Jenn!

These are definitely some awesome food goals! I hope to experiment with sourdough in the new year as well. And I’m dying for a VitaMix. Sigh.

Raising your own chickens sounds like fun! I bet the eggs will be amazing. Too bad it’s not feasible in an NYC apartment.

Congrats on losing a pants size!

I want chickens! We just don’t have the room sadly
I love all your ideas Jenn and look forward to seeing all your delish soups and recipes.
Happy 2010 to you and your family x

You are going to love chickens! I’m so happy for you that you are moving to Vermont. I love your blog and you have inspired me so much, but Florida just never seemed right for your personality or tastes – not that I know Florida.

Vermont is my second home and I know you will fit in there like a blend of tomatoes and olive oil – a fabulous combination with each ingredient supporting the other nutritionally and practically.

I have benefitted from many of the food/nutrition ideas you have given over time. I see that I will have a lot more of them to consider now. Thanks for all your tips. You may not be a medical person but all your research and work in the health field when you were in MA has paid off and is spot on. You are always ahead of your time. I can’t tell you how many pieces of nutrional information you have given me that have months later become the new big thing in the news. Keep up your good work.

Happy New Year!

I’m looking forward to reading about your blender soups– because I really want an excuse to buy a Vitamix and your adventures moving and trying out animal husbandry. So far our plan is to get a pair of ducks and a pair of chicks this spring.

Great goals! I’m trying to figure out how best to eat myself this year (while still being local of course). I think this weekend I’m going to experiment with a green smoothie recipe (or two).

Wonderful goals! I share many of the same desires as you do – and I will be so excited to hear how these goals are coming throughout the year. I’m really excited to hear about your fermentation of vegetables for all that probiotic goodness. I need to consume more of that myself!
