“Simple celebrations can be joyful and rich events, focusing on relationships, faith, and time spent together rather than on gifts, matching decor, spotless floors, and elegant foods.” — Rebecca Seiling, Living More with Less
One of my fellow food bloggers contacted me a few months ago and asked if I could share "baby steps" to cooking real food since I'm a middle of the road blogger; she said she doesn't even know how to relate to people who aren't on the far end of the real food spectrum. I wasn't entirely sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.
When I started writing this challenge as a way to force myself to think through the principles presented in the book Living More with Less, I wondered if I would get bored. 16 weeks, that’s 4 months! I can say that I haven’t gotten bored, and I have found it meaningful as a personal exercise.
Believe it or not, I used to subscribe to Eating Well magazine back before I cooked regularly. The exotic ingredients and dishes were fun to read about, but seemed way beyond my capabilities (besides, half the time I had no idea what they were talking about!) So it was kind of funny when I re-subscribed years later, only to discover that what once seemed exotic was now fresh and something I would actually cook. Funny how that happens. But I digress.
Want to know something ironic? On the day that I was going to write about this topic, my car wouldn't start in the parking lot at work.
