I’ve now had a blog for one. whole. year. It seems kind of crazy to think about last year when I decided to start a blog – I had no idea what I was getting myself into and absolutely no clue how I would feel about this new-found community. I certainly did not expect to be going on internet dates all over the country

When I started my blog, I didn’t even read any “health or food” blogs, which looking back, was a good thing. I wanted to write about new foods that I find, health & wellness topics, and healthy recipes. I think for the most part this is what I have done. I may have gone a little over-board on recipes and I really can’t claim that they are all healthy but that is the direction it has kind of gone in and I’m ok with that.

I love all of the time, pictures, typing and thinking it takes to prepare a post but there are certainly days when I wonder what I’m doing and why I even bother. Throughout all of that, you are the reason that I blog and I want to thank you so much for reading and eating along with me!
