A Love Affair

I am a happily married Christian woman.. But I am having a love affair. Not just any love affair, but one that could make or break me. I choose to remain in this love affair. God knows, my husband knows, my friends know and my children are well aware. Yet, I remain committed to this relationship. It grows deeper everyday. It’s not one that I sought after, it just kind of happened to me. The love blossomed slowly and steadily. I’m not exactly sure of the exact moment I realized it, but I know with great certainty that if I am going to continue in this relationship, I have to make a few changes and set a few ground rules. It has to be healthy for me. I can not allow this love affair to destroy my health and eventually lead me to an uncertain death. I am in love with food. Yes, food. I love to create it, think about it, smell it, look at it, eat it. But, I realize, that for the majority of my life, I have suffered lack, which has caused me to view food from a different perspective. No, I am not malnourished, in the sense that the word is usually defined. But, I have been nutritionally malnourished due to my lack of knowledge of what food means to our bodies and how it works. Food makes me happy when I’m sad, warm when I’m cold, laugh when I’m already excited, food just makes me smile. I just love it, didn’t matter to me whether it was good for me or bad. I love to try new foods and experience all there is to know about food. For years, I have considered myself a Foodie. I love to take pictures of my food before savoring every bite. My family and friends all thought it was weird and a bit annoying at times, but it’s just a part of who I am. I can’t help it. God gave us His word for nourishing our minds and souls and He has blessed us with many foods to nourish our bodies. I am on a quest to learn more, create more and most importantly, taste more. This is my journey to cleaner, healthier, body and mind nourishing food. I would like to offer you a VIP table to enjoy this love affair with me. Let’s begin…
