Welcome visitors from the Ultimate Blog Party! (And regular readers, if you’d like to find some more fun blogs to follow, click on the Party banner above).
About the Blog: This blog started as a way to share my experiences cooking through all the recipes in Simply in Season, which is part of my quest to discover simple ways of preparing local, healthy foods and to learn more about nutrition, sustainability, and how our eating choices impact the world.
Some of the topics you’re likely to find:
- Recipes, from the simple to the complex. Mostly healthy, mostly using local foods. Sometimes not. I work full time, so I’m realistic and non-judgmental. In real life I have friends who are vegan, vegetarian, follow Nourishing Traditions, make everything from scratch, make nothing from scratch, are professional chefs, and who never cook if they can help it. I like good food and like to support local artisans. I try to include nutrition info and tips and tricks along with reviews of the recipes.
- Reviews & Giveaways. Mostly cookbook reviews, but sometimes other books that have to do with simple living or local food. Sometimes companies send me things to review that fall into the category of cooking/frugal/green/health/fitness and these are always disclosed and all opinions are always my own.
- My weight loss journey. DH (Dear Husband) and I love food, wine, and beer, and although we’re pretty active we both need to lose some weight. I’m on a journey to lose 100 pounds, so I post about my journey, usually on “Fitness Fridays,” although lately it’s been more like Fitness Saturdays or Mondays LOL.
- Simple Living. My work has given me firsthand experience in developing countries, and I’ve developed a sense of biblical justice and a desire to “live simply so that others may simply live.”
- Misc. I have a ton of interests, from cheesemaking to triathlons to sewing, so although most posts are about the above topics, you never know what I’ll post about next!
Hello! I like the line where you say, “Live simply so others may simply LIVE!”
