So...to my non-existent blog audience: I obviously gave up blogging. I never remembered to take pictures of the food I cooked. I never had time to blog. I felt too much pressure from myself to make an awesome food blog, but I just didn't have the energy to put into it.
And we moved.
And we started building a house.
And then we got pregnant again.
And then we moved into the house that we built.
And then we had another baby.
So, things have been kind of busy. But sometimes I read things (like other blogs) that make me think hard about a particular topic, and I wish I could write a response (of sorts), or just my perspective on that same topic. Or sometimes I make choices that I think people may be interested in reading about (this, of course, requires me to have readers...but maybe I'll get there someday). Or sometimes I cook something I think is awesome (like the Italian 3-bean soup I made a couple of weeks ago) and I wish I could share it.
So I decided to give blogging another go, but I'm changing it up a little.
There are lots of amazing food blogs out there, and for now (with a 2 year old and a 4 month old, and a job) I don't have the time to make a food blog of which I could be proud. This is not to say I won't include recipes sometimes, because, as I mentioned that bean soup was amazing and it deserves to be shared with the world. But sometimes in the evenings or during a nap, or whenever, there are other things I want to write about. So, that's what you'll be getting here - a little bit of this, a little bit of that - random things that come into my head while my children are (hopefully) sleeping and that eventually flesh themselves out into blog posts. Maybe a theme will emerge, maybe it won't. Maybe eventually the recipes will take over and I'll become a "real" food blogger, or maybe some other thing I am passionate about will win out. Who knows. Right now my goal is just to have a creative outlet, maybe spark a discussion (only with people who wholeheartedly agree with me though, obviously), and maybe write something interesting that someone, somewhere would be interested in reading. Wish me luck!
