For the Love of Food…

Mmmmm… food…as I channel my inner Homer Simpson.  There is just something about slow cooked Mexican style mince poured over corn chips, pounds of melted cheese, lashings of guacamole, sour cream and freshly made salsa. Or sticky, oozy triple chocolate fudge brownies … sprinkled with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoyed with a piping hot, freshly-ground coffee.

 

 

Yes, there is just something about food, glorious food! I haven’t always had a healthy relationship with food…with society’s pressures, it is hard to. This week the Atkin’s Diet is in, next week the Blood Type Diet, then the Starvation Diet, then Paleo… Banting… low carb, low fat; high fat, no carb; high carb, no fat, and so on and so on.

 

Anyway, I am no Cinderella but what I have decided is that now-and-then I will indulge in “wicked” food. But more importantly I will enjoy my food. All of it – including healthy food. Sparkle Belly Corner isn’t just the place where you pick up “wicked” treats but some healthy recipes too. I trust you will discern.

 

At Sparkle Belly Corner food is about celebration and enjoying life. It’s about having fun with food and not being perfect in the kitchen. It’s about being excited with family and friends over yummy meals. It’s about sharing and whimsy.

 

 

Follow the rules or break them but have a delightful foodie journey. I hope the recipes in this blog inspires some sparkliness in your life.

In the words of Winnie the Pooh: “What could be more important than a little something to eat.”

  1. Agreed. Food is my weakness. That is why I look the way I do. Going on fad diets takes all the fun out of life.

    1. Fad diets really steals your joy. It’s better to get creative with cover-ups and clothing. And you look fabulous! So keep doing what you are doing.
