How did you do with 2011's New Year's Food Resolutions?

Mine was giving up a different thing every month. Not all of them were food related (television, cursing, driving) but here's how I did with the food ones:

Dairy- pretty easy but I substituted a lot with almond milk, soy cheese, etc.
Alcohol- easy except for time out with my husband. It was a big money saver too.
Meat- easy but the husband's leftovers often tempted me.
Sugar- difficult. I don't do artificial sweeteners so most beverages were out. I ate cheese for dessert.

The Secret Ingredient (Honey): Homemade Honey Sticks

I got a bunch of these with some teas in a gift box a few years ago. Good idea, but the honey sticks were notoriously hard to open. I ended up using fingernail clippers.

Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box, a Big Letdown

I used to peruse the Hickory Farms and Swiss Colony catalogs when I was a kid. I was under the impression that the catalogs were full of forbidden, exotic delicacies. My mom wouldn't let any of that crap into our Kosher house.

Candy A Day: Mary Janes

Back in the early 90's I had started bicycling rather seriously. Back then the only energy bar out there was the Original PowerBar and the flavors and textures were quite primitive. At a rest stop a fellow rider and I were eating PowerBars and someone else pulled a few Mary Janes out of his jersey pocket. We compared the texture and basic nutrition, and the products were both quite similar. Mary Janes were a third the cost. Plus they were availible in convenient bite sizes.
