New Year's Kitchen Resolutions

I gave up New Year's Resolutions some time ago but in case you need a few to follow, here are 10 for your kitchen:

1. Sharpen knives

2. Season cast iron skillet

3. Make fresh chicken stock

4. Discard items in the freezer that  are past their "use by" date

5. Restock pantry items

6. Polish copper if you are lucky enough to have it

7. Seal stone and tile surfaces

8. Run the oven cleaner

9. Flush the sink drain with a mixture of white vinegar, baking soda and boiling water

10. Clean your coffee maker according to the manufacturer's directions.

Now, look through the index of this blog and try a new recipe before the week is out!  You're ready!
