Even though I don't do resolutions, I love the first of the year as a time to reset. I clean and organize the kitchen, jot down a few intentions for the new year, and I sketch of rough list of new things I'd like to try. I like to try and kick myself out of ruts the holidays might have created. I have a feeling quite a few of you feel the same way as I do. Around this time of year, I receive quite a few emails around adding more plants to your meal rotation. This guide is a solid arsenal of resources to help you on your way.
