Let me introduce myself

So, I feel really weird about this. I mean, isn't there an element of conceit that goes along with blogging? What on earth do I really have to say that is important, that other people would read? I don't know...I'm just saying.

I guess I'll start by introducing myself. I'm a southern girl, born and raised in Texas. Technically that makes me southwestern, but let's not split hairs. I am married and have 2 great kids. My husband is awesome. I teach preschool but by degree I am a graphic designer. I graduated from Texas Tech.

Okay, so none of that is very exiting, I know. But here's the thing. I mostly have 2 passions, and they are cooking and being healthy. As I've traveled along in life, I have come to realize that what you put in your body is critically important. I've researched foods and diets and supplements and it's taken me down several different paths. I used to NEVER eat bread. Now I do, but it's whole wheat, homemade when I can do it. I also used to promote Splenda, but now I stay away from artificial sweeteners, I admit I was wrong on that! LOL So, I have a lot of information I like to share, and it would seem that there are people who do take an interest in that information. And my Mom put a thought in my head by showing me The Pioneer Woman's site. Mom told me I am doing the same things, she is just getting a lot of pub for it! LOL

Which leads me to this blog. I guess I'll try it and see how it goes. I need a central place to post things - right now I post on Facebook and my 2 Yahoo groups, but that is hard to keep up with sometimes. So now it will all go here: the recipes, the picts of my gardens, the health information, etc. Follow me if you will - I can't promise greatness, but every once in awhile, maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something you didn't know or find a new favorite recipe.

God bless your day!
