Foodie Like Me?

Any body else out there a foodie?

Garnet and I have been called ‘sugar hippies’ and I get ‘granola girl’ but I think I favor the term foodie.

I have been playfully throwing this term around the kitchen, the dining room and even the grocery store for that matter. This slang has many different definitions but one specifically suits my man and I.

Garnet and I enjoy food and most related topics. We get far to enthusiastic as we share new found favorites. Our beaming faces seem almost cartoonishly over done to many around us who just don’t get it. For me the enthusiasm stems from years of struggling with an appetite that would just dry up and my husband has so many diet limiting health issues that we had to start researching new ideas and options. So when you come from that kind of a problematic relationship with food whenever you discover GOOD FOOD you get pretty worked up.

If there are any foodies like me reading this lets together draw our attention to the posted photo atop my article. I have returned to the habit of making myself espresso each morning. Using my stove top Italian espresso perk makes it a little bit more work but I always end up smiling at my steaming black yum in a cup all the more, so it is worth it! The treat of choice with my yum cup is presently ‘Sahale Snacks’ biscotti crisps. They are sweet enough to aid the espresso down but not too sweet, I have a growing dislike of sugar. With walnuts, banana and dark chocolate hiding in amidst the crisp one is bound to find something new to ‘mmmmmmmm’ about in each bit, provided you don’t in hail them too quickly. Espresso anyone?

If you have a minute you should think about food and not just eat it, it might lead to a lot of fun!

P.s. I think I sense a new blog label coming on…
