Hi everyone! I am so excited about having a food blog because I absolutely love food and anything related to it. I love to bake and always seem to have room for dessert. Well, it doesn’t have to be dessert – if there is food in front of me, I will eat it! Actually, it is not as bad as it sounds. I eat healthy about 90 percent of the time, avoiding preservatives, additives, trans fat, hydrogenated oil, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners. However, even though I cut out a lot of bad stuff and eat pretty nutritious foods, I still need to work on my health since I only exercise once in a blue moon.
I hope to use this blog as motivation to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I will record and post photos of my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, to see if I am getting enough fruits, veggies, whole grains, etc. each day. Since I do not have a gym membership, my exercise will probably just consist of daily walks around the neighborhood. I will also probably buy some fitness videos and work out at home when it is rainy outside.
This blog will also motivate me to try out new recipes, since I can share my results and reactions with others and receive reader input. I really need to expand my skills in the kitchen and my collection of recipes since I have never really tried my hand at main dishes (all that time was spent making desserts!).
Thanks a lot for visiting my blog! I would love to read any comments or suggestions you may have!

Food blogging is a wonderful way to keep tabs on what you’re eating. And a lovely way to record and share recipes/photos with friends and family.

Hey Lindsay, thanks for stopping by! Oh I agree – when I first started the blog, it was more like a food-diary where I recorded everything I ate. Now, I just highlight a few meals that I ate, as I have started to try out and review recipes more frequently. Not many people in my “real life” know about my blog, though, so mostly I just share everything with my readers/other bloggers!

I like your honesty about the exercise. True our bodies need it, but you’re right in putting what you eat first. I’m looking forward to your blog on your new site! I also really enjoy your questions at the end.

Thank you! I’m actually still working on the exercise thing, figuring out what works for me! Glad you like the blog!

Nicole and Katie,
Thank you both so much for stopping by! I apologize it took me so long to get back to you guys! I’ve been getting so much spam lately, that I was actually surprised to see comments from real people!
Nicole,
Thank you for your sweet comments, and congrats on starting your own blog! I would love to do a blogroll swap – I actually just have to get my own blogroll up again. I took it down because a lot of the blogs weren’t current anymore (the authors don’t blog anymore) so I wanted to update it again.
Katie,
Thanks so much for your lovely comments. Congrats on your blog! Excited to see your recipes! I’ll definitely stop by soon!
April 3rd, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Tiffany ~ Sorry I’m so late with this! Thanks so much for stopping by! Love your stuffed pepper recipe – thanks so much for sharing it!
