Alright, Already!

I am not a disciplined blogger.  I am not a very disciplined person, as a matter of fact.  I am beginning to think that what I am, is someone who goes through phases of over-zealous enthusiasm without much consistency.  Some might call that flighty, some might call that flaky...  I call it passionate!

This being said, I have become newly (or again) inspired to be a little more disciplined in my blogging.  My friend (whose blog is amazing, and if you don't follow it, you should - it's Cozy. Cottage. Cute.) told me she likes my blog and that I should get back into it.  From this particular friend, this is a huge compliment.  And so here we are.

The last few entries were forays into the wheat-dairy-free lifestyle while still trying to maintain my status as a self-proclaimed foodie.  I have taken this to the next level in recent months and have started the Brown Rice Elimination Diet.  Essentially, this means no wheat, yeast, dairy, sugar, corn, potatoes, decaf, caffeine, pork or beef.  It was a little difficult in the beginning, but I already avoided a lot of those foods, so it hasn't been terrible (unless you ask Scott!!!) and it is helping me health-wise as well.

This newly disciplined me* is also going to start to take more photos with an actual camera instead of my iPhone (Squee! Who doesn't love their iPhone!!!) BUT... Baby steps here, people... Baby steps. Just because I think it's fun, here are some of our holiday projects:
 *meh, not really

Thai Shrimp and Lettuce Wraps for Christmas Day

Sushi Fusion Platter for NYE

SO not cleanse-worthy, but I was so impressed with Scott's
 Angel-Food and Brownie Sliders with Sugar-Cookie Fries!!!

 I am convinced 2012 is my year...  I've already been calling it The Year of Renee!  The groceries are purchased, the Rebel is charging and I might even have a couple little side projects to share soon.*
*Complete lie.  I already have one, but I did not want to post everything all at once.
Happy New Year (of Renee!)
