Update The Address Book Still scribbling and scrawling in a battered old address book? Perhaps this is the year that you invest in a shiny new planner or build a computerized address book for the first time. Schedule an address book update. Sit down with a planner, computer, and that big box of holiday greetings. You may read to your heart's content but you must make note of new addresses. Star any names whose holiday cards were returned because of an incorrect address. During the year to come be on the lookout for a new address. Friends are too important to lose for want of an address!

Keep in Touch Don't stop there! These are people you love. Christmas cards contain lots of valuable information. Begin a list of "Letters to Send" sparked by those cards or letters that move you to respond as you read. Writing just one letter a week for the next year, you can treat over 50 of your friends and family to a special gift --- an unexpected letter from you, written at leisure and just because you want to! Schedule weekly letter-writing to tighten the ties that bind you to loved ones.

Paper Pile-Up Address book buffed? Turn to files and paperwork. For most of us, a bit of preparation in January will save hours of April agony. As you file this month's phone bill, scoop up and sort last year's receipts.

Clump them together with a big paperclip, and if you're really motivated, place them in a brand-new file folder marked 2016 Receipts. Come tax time, you'll be grateful for this bit of sorting. Is this the year you begin managing your money by computer?

January 1 is such a nice, round date. Resolve that you'll set up your bank accounts this month, when your bank statements arrive. Somehow, starting to use Quicken or MS Money isn't quite so significant in June or October --- and no month has free time like January. When those bank statements arrive, take the time to sort them, by year, placing last year's in your "Taxes" file, and creating a new place for this year's statements to live.

With the new year freshly started I figured I should do a healthier choice recipe feature instead of more delicious desserts! Trust me, I’ve made and consumed plenty of them over the holiday season. At my house we love our home cooked meals and family time on Sunday evenings as long as our schedules will permit it, and my husband is an amazing cook. He made this recipe last week and it was delicious. The mustard taste isn’t too strong however you could add more if you desire. Winter time is a great time for home healthy hearty eating. ENJOY!
