Hey everyone!
I haven't posted in a few weeks. School started for my kids and my partner, and I've been throwing myself head-first into my own classes. I've also been working on developing my new website,
phytophiliac. That has consumed a good chunk of my time. So most of my meals have been unremarkable.
I've been thinking a lot about this blog and how much I've enjoyed having it for the past year. I've posited my blog as being "all about the food" - exactly the kind of food blog I appreciate, free of contests, giveaways, photos without recipes (hate that!), advertisements, and blathering. But with so much going on at school, with so many new ideas challenging my knowledge, and with my impending graduation and business development, I've had a strong desire to branch out in my discussions of food and the flip-side of that - herbal wisdom and respect for the earth.
I started phytophiliac to discuss the latter, but I've tentatively decided to meld the two sites to create one all-inclusive space for all things plant-worship. I'm trying to streamline my lifestyle, and one aspect of that is limiting my time on the computer. I spend way too much time online, folks! Like my battle with sugar, this one just goes on and on and there is never an end in sight. I keep trying, though, and I think it will help to have just one website to maintain. My goals are to spend less time online and to have one excellent, high-quality, readable, beautiful, informative and inspiring website that deserves the time and care I invest in it.
I love the idea of integrating the two sites and sharing my experiments from many angles - not only cooking, but also making herbal remedies, learning about plant nutrition, and just being in nature. I'll post recipes about once a week, so it will be similar in frequency to this site. But my scope has expanded. I hope this isn't disappointing to anybody.
This site
will be maintained as an index. Thanks for visiting
whole food whole family over the past year, and I hope you'll enjoy the new site!
