Another one?
Yeah…..
Here’s why:
I am obsessed with food.
Here’s why:
1. I need food to survive
2. Food is a major contributor to my health and happiness and also (but hopefully not) my destruction and misery.
3. Everyday I have to make 3 meals for 11 people, often a daunting task.
4. I have had a lifelong love/hate relationship with food. I would rather just love it.
5. I am on a quest to understand this and what I am supposed to do about it. (That is a link-click on it if you dare)
6. Michael Pollan speaks to my soul.
7. After giving birth to 8 kids, 5 of them c-section, my body is begging me to treat it a little better.
Here’s another reason for this blog: I want to know what you think about food. And I really want to know what you are having for dinner!

Jen! This is such a neat idea. Like you, I have a love-hate relationship with food. I’m trying to feed the four kids and my husband more whole, natural, local, foods, but I get easily side-tracked. I’m looking forward to watching what you have to say.
Thanks!

Awesome idea, Jen. If only I made healthy recipes I could contribute some! One questions, why is there a picture of yummy looking cupcakes at the top of this blog? You are a temptress! I promise to check your blog often.

Ahhh, Rachel. That is a good question. I will answer you soon!

HEY! Those are my cupcakes! Made from a BOX MIX. And with CANNED FROSTING!!!!!
Of all the things I cook/bake, you use a picture of the one time I made totally fake food. I wasn’t about to exert myself for a home school party where it wouldn’t be appreciated.
Does that make me selfish?

Jen, thanks so much for inviting me to view your blog. What a great way of sharing good food. Already I’m excited about the recipes you’ve posted, and I am going to share your blog with my daughters, who will also be interested. In fact, I should connect you and my daughters to each other (if you know what I mean, lol). They have blogs, too, and are raising children, too, and are trying to do good things, too, and I think y’all would get along really well.

I so love food and when I get off of this dumb diet I am on I am going to savor my food, slowly and enjoy it!!!
I am excited to share recipes, as I get soooooooo tired of trying to think of something new to fix!

Thanks for including me and thanks for sharing!!! -

I too hope to one day be able to truly understand and fully live the word of wisdoom. Also, I hope that pink cupcakes have a place in it, or a least cheese cake, and chocolate, and ice cream. (PS All the pictures of yummy food are making me hungry

I too was a little curious about the cupcakes considering the amount of high fructose corn syrup involved but I had reserved judgment. “Maybe they were made from scratch with applesauce?” (I actually have an amazing recipe for vegan cupcakes) Then Shauna sabotaged you Jen! Those cupcakes are sacrilegious, JK. Although, I do think you were being a temptress, luckily I have have an affinity towards cheese and not sweets, so just as long as you don’t switch the picture to a block of cheddar I will be ok.
