Let me be honest. When I stopped dieting and made up my mind that I was going to eat healthy and not try to diet the one thing I missed, or thought I missed, was the flavor of food. But little did I now what was really in store for me. Let me explain. What I thought was delicious and tasty was not the actual taste of food, it was flavor enhancers and chemicals added to change the taste. As to why they do that is a whole other blog that I will cover soon. Any way back to the subject at hand. Once I started to consume whole foods and less processed foods I realized just how good and tasty real food can be!!! And that is one reason I want to share the recipes I create with you. I am on a mission to help others learn how to be healthy and enjoy food all at the same time.
