So, after years of considering foods and what I should be eating, I've just recently figured out that I am not a vegetarian, and most decidedly not a vegan. I detest handling raw meat, but suffer health consequences when I remove it from my diet. While I enjoy many vegan foods and recipes, the overall tendency toward carbs, starches and foods not found in nature 100 years ago is a real turnoff, and not at all good for (my) body.
I know I enjoy "whole" foods, real foods, and I find that they have the best effect on my body. Veggies, fruits, lean meats and fish, nuts, beans, and lots and lots of water are tops on my preferred list. I have a weakness for dark chocolate and coffee. Baked goods are my nemesis but will always have a (small) place in my life. Not an extreme diet, but one that I hope provides health and the balance I believe is necessary in everything.
As I find foods and recipes I enjoy, I will share them here - hopefully they will come with photos as well, as I almost never make anything without first seeing what it would/should look like!
