30 Dec Foodie New Year’s Resolutions from Your Reno / Lake Tahoe Catering Company

Posted at 15:06h in Uncategorized by

Well, it’s almost 2016 … yup, it’s Resolution Time! We know, we know; your Facebook feed is probably plenty FULL of that stuff. But, fear not! Partly because of that (and partly since we’re a Reno / Lake Tahoe catering company that makes a living off of people eating our food) we thought we’d send you down a more interesting road than the one to tired old I’m-Gonna-Try-This-New-Diet Town.

Earlier this month, we found a list of “Foodie Goals to Accomplish.” While many of them–at least on their own–might not feel as ambitious as learning how to dance the salsa or becoming proficient in Mandarin, we think they’re all valuable and even brave.

(Plus, well, let’s be honest: as bona fide “foodies” ourselves, we’d rather learn a tasty new salsa recipe or Chinese cooking technique, anyway!)

So have a peek at these 51 fun goals, do some mixing and matching, and perhaps you’ll come away with something even better than yet another unattainable resolution: new skills and delicious culinary experiences you can share with others!

Happy Resolving, everybody!
