Happy New Year


 Someday I would like to throw a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" style New Year's Eve party. 

Party Wishes Blog has some great ideas for a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" party. 
  
 
They held a birthday party, but I think the theme would work equally well for a New Year's Eve Party, don't you?

 
I remember my parents had blow-out New Year's Eve parties back in the day.  I actually remember pink elephant cake decorations and napkins!

Of course my New Year's Resolution is to eat healthier (not saying the 4-letter word) and plan healthy meals so I decided to start now by making chicken and brown rice meat loaf....figured I could have it for dinner tonight and then heat up the leftovers for a few days of low-fat eating....wasn't that good planning.....well, I didn't start to cook until I was hungry and.....it took 30 minutes to cook the rice and the loaf has been almost an hour in the oven and....in the meantime I have eaten a bag of sour cream and onion potato chips and a slice of banana bread that I made yesterday before my resolution (and, yes, I added the optional chocolate chips, no less, since I had them on-hand for the Holidays)....I sure hope I plan better in January......
 Remember:  Everything in Moderation!  Don't overdo it!
 
 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
