CHIVETALKIN.COM: My New Year's Challenge to YOU!

Welcome to Chive Talkin!

I'm so glad you're here. I am Jenna Borum - happily married and mom to three beautiful children.

When I am not dating my husband or teaching my children, I am in the kitchen...creating,cooking, tasting. I am a flexitarian foodie with a raw twist. I love food; good food - REAL food, and sharing it with family and friends. It's my passion!

I am always looking for flexitarian, vegetarian, primal, raw, whole foods, seasonal, local, gluten free menu planners. If you are such a Menu Planner, please join the Mindful Menus Blog Roll here on Sunday evenings. Let's inspire one another to health through real food!

Please email me at jenna DOT borum AT gmail DOT com or jenna AT chivetalkin DOT com if you are interested in me doing a product review or any other type of content writing for you.

My New Year's Challenge to YOU!

It's almost a New Year and a new decade and I am issuing a challenge to YOU! As we all know, the New Year is the perfect time for resolutions and to make changes for the better. And where should you start? With yourself... with your health, of course!

So, here is your New Year's challenge... ready?!? OK... here it is: I challenge you to Menu Plan! If you don't menu plan, start. If you already do, continue.

Then join a weekly menu plan blog roll like Mindful Menus. Shameless plug, you say? Well, yes. But Mindful Menus is a blog roll that is focused on healthy menu planning. By joining a weekly menu plan blog roll you are not only holding yourself accountable to your goal of menu planning, but you will also find new recipes, meet new friends and get traffic to your blog. It's a win-win-win scenario.

If you are overwhelmed by the idea of menu planning, please share your concerns, your fears. What's stopping you from menu planning?

Remember, it's your plan. You rule the plan. It doesn't rule you.

I can tell you that if you menu plan, you will be famous with your family, you will save money and you will be healthier. So, will you take the challenge and menu plan in the New Year?

Just found your site this morning -- I agree you have to menu plan! I am venturing off and joing in on a challenge for the month of January, you may already know about it, 'Eat From the Pantry Challenge' I am going to TRY and only set foot in a grocery store (3) times the whole month of Jan., use what I already have on hand, and when I do shop, not to spend over $100 for the whole month for our family of 6....I am a little nervouse about doing this, so I have been looking through blogs to find inexpensive recipes. Here is my link for this challenge (I am not hosting it---just joining in, all are welcomed!) http://swappinspoons.blogspot.com/2009/12/eat-from-pantry-challenge-my-goals-and.html

Menu planning is one of the healthy habits i want to create this year! I am really daunted by it though - and i'm not sure why.

Another of my healthy habits is using my poor neglected blog to help motivate me and keep me accountable for keeping with the rest of them!

i'm in!

  Hey Daniele! Haha! I thought a menu planning challenge would induce accountability. ;-D I am happy to help you with any specific questions about menu planning. Sometimes jumping in with both feet works best!!!
