Food for thought, food forethought...

We all think about food. Most of us even have emotional experience relating to liking food, disliking food, craving food, loving food. At some point as an adult, we start to think about food based upon how it makes us feel after we've eaten it. When dieting, we obsess about everything that's on the "don't eat" list. What do you think happens when one tells herself "I can't have cheesecake, I can't have cheesecake, I can't have cheesecake" incessantly? You will likely give your right arm at the end of the day for a piece of cheesecake. The aftermath of guilt and digestive agony is a recurring nightmare.

Here's our plan: let's think about food, what we CAN eat, before we eat it. Food is so much fun! If you look at what the earth provides us, rich in color and nutrition and taste, it's amazing. We want to take a look at healthy and flavorful recipe options that will change your mind, and change your health.

Here's the interesting part (and the disclaimer): the contributors of this site are not physicians, not nutritionists, and not culinary experts. We are parents, spouses, full-time office workers, neighbors, and friends. We are on this journey with you, adapting common comfort foods for a healthier life.

As we get to know each other, we will share our secrets and successes and we encourage you to share yours too. Thanks for joining us!
