End of year recap

I am now 363 days into my 1001 days and I have completed 34 of my 101 things!

In the past few weeks I have completed #8, #52, #67, and #76

8. Invite friends over to cook a meal together. On December 18 I had 8 people over and I cooked dinner. It was somewhat like a traditional Christmas dinner with ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and rolls. This has become a yearly tradition with my friends and next year I want to do more of a cocktail party.

56. Make cork board. Thanks to my wonder husband for all his help on this one!
#2 Try 30 new recipes. I made baked ziti for the first time. Sorry I didn't take a picture. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I put veggies in it.

I also made an autumn salad with red wine vinaigrette which I liked but will change the dressing a little.

While my dad was here back in September I made chicken breasts stuffed with garlic and herbed goat cheese. Of these three new dished the stuffed chicken was my favorite.

Sorry no pictures :( But all three recipes are from the Oct. 2007 Cooking Light Magazine.
