Greetings

I am finally starting the blog my husband has been encouraging me to write. He even suggested the title, so he left me little excuse not to get to it. Plus, I am currently watching Julie & Julia...so what better time to start?

Besides the inspiration of my husband, Jon, and Julie & Julia, I can also blame Pioneer Woman & Dooce for their great blogs driving me to do this... and my dear friend Brig for introducing me to both.

So what in the world am I doing here? I am currently on a mission to get healthy. I love to cook and unfortunately, love to eat my cooking. But I am finding that to get healthy, I need to get my life together in all regards. So I am going to chronicle it here, writing about food, exercise and money.

Primarily, I want to write about healthy meals that even your husband will eat. I know so many women who want to eat more healthfully but tell me those they cook with and for just will not eat it. To them I say bullshit, and yes, MOM, this includes you. You can cook healthy, tasty meals. And if they do not like it, then they can eat cheesy noodles and tenderized steak until they rot (a story for another time).

With that, Bon Appétit
