76. Read 15 books (one every two months) (5/15)
I finished reading Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. It was ok..... but it was mostly just a book pushing people to be vegan. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it's just not for me.
Next up: The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks! :)
87. Try 15 restaurants I have never tried before (one every other month) (7/15)- I tried a new chinese restaurant called Mandarin Garden at 19th and chestnut. It was pretty good!!
91. Try 30 new recipes (once a month) (1/30)- I made a quiche! :) Half bacon and cheese and half with veggie sausage and onions. Looking forward to trying it tonight!!
