Happy New Year!  2009 was such an amazing year for me.  I took a trip to Japan where I spend almost 3 weeks exploring new sights and tastes.  I made the decision to leave my job and attend culinary school, which begins in just a few short days.  I cannot wait to see what this new year will bring.

I’m not usually big on New Years resolutions but this year I’m aiming to eat healthier.  My cooking relies on quite a lot of butter and oil.  And I assume the use of fats will only become greater as I venture forward with my culinary training.  I’m thinking I’ll need to supplement my diet with healthier meals whenever possible.

Therefore, I’ve complied a list of healthy recipes offered by my fellow food bloggers.  Enjoy the list, and please take a moment to visit their blogs!
