Hi, Dan and everyone at the Sporkful. My name is Dana and I live in Walla Walla, Washington.

In the new year, I resolved to eat more food that touches. I have four kids and they all like

their food separate. And this is just no way to live.

I am so looking forward to focusing on food that piles and touches and all the mixture

of flavors and textures and just taking back control of what I eat and focusing on myself in this way and all the yumminess and crunchiness

and flavors that are coming with it. Happy 2025, everyone. My name is Verity. I live in Arezzo,

Italy, and in the new year, I resolved to eat more chocolate after years of feeling guilt around

eating sweet foods. In 2024, I had a really hard time throughout many points of the year

and found myself craving comfort foods, be it grabbing a Twix bar in the grocery store or

making a huge batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and freezing

it so that I could have a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie anytime I wanted.

And instead of feeling guilty about it, I just found myself really enjoying that I was eating

chocolate. So I want to bring that energy into 2025 and eat more chocolate. Hi, Sporkful. This is Mary Lynn,

calling from Malibu, California. This year, my New Year's food resolution is to eat more white

chocolate. I used to look down upon white chocolate, thinking of dark chocolate and even milk

chocolate as far superior.

Then I had my daughter, who was born with a rare kidney stone disease.

She can't have darker milk chocolate because they have a lot of oxalate, which can cause kidney stones.

But she can have as much white chocolate as she wants.

This year, I resolved to partake in as much white chocolate as possible wants. This year, I resolved to partake in as much

white chocolate as possible with my daughter Madison. Two years old. Happy New Year.
