As a mother of four boys, I spend a lot of time thinking about what I’m going to cook, talking about what I’m going to cook, shopping for ingredients and then preparing food for my family. As the New Year comes and goes, I’m still in the goal-setting stage. Need to purge the house. Lose the baby weight. Work on that research topic. Find a creative outlet for the ideas in my head.
The “tidying up” goal has been about two years in the works. And now that my baby is about to turn six, I think that I need to really put pen to paper as to how I’m going to lose the 30 pounds that have accumulated with each pregnancy. I’m hoping the creative outlet goal helps me maintain my sanity as I try to tackle the others. That’s where this “insightful” blog comes in. “Insightful” is one of my favorite adjectives, because I enjoy gaining insight on almost any topic. And let’s face it, “eating” is one of my favorite verbs, because, well, that’s self-evident. So here it is, “Insightful Eating,” and thank you for joining me on this journey.
In an effort to feel the joy in the everyday occurrences, I decided to notice the beauty in the things I get to do all the time–like cooking. Each one of my blogs will contain my view point on a topic and how its meaningful to me. I’ll try to add some real “insight” into each blog–hopefully some real research and interesting tidbits of information (which I really love and I know will help me when I get to compete on a trivia gameshow one day.) I will also include a recipe inspired by the day’s topic. I promise that it will be a recipe that I prepared, took a picture of, and fed to my family–all in a very amateur way. I will try my best to make sure the foods mentioned are all natural, few ingredients, lower carb, virtually gluten free and usually pretty when plated.
I hope and pray that some of what I share resonates with some of you. I hope to spread some happiness and joy to the meal planners and feeders out there in the big beautiful world. God Bless you and your families today and everyday. Love, Rose
