A RENEWED APPRECIATIONSpring is here. Finally. I think I speak for many of us in Indiana when I say: “Finally we made it through this winter.” A new sense of hope fills the air. That being said, with summer right around the corner, the dreaded “bathing suit weather” is approaching fast and furiously. You may wonder why a food and lifestyle blogger is talking about this. Here’s why: I am the anti-diet person. I just know it doesn’t work whichever way you look at. Life is a balancing act. Life is also about enjoying things you love––in moderation, of course. One thing I know for sure is that eating healthy and balancing your food intake starts at home. I encourage you to cook for yourself and those you love in a renewed sense of appreciation for the gorgeous spring and the summer days ahead. You should savor every bite. This is not about making a chef ’s masterpiece, but simply feeding your body some delicious and healthy food. Spring gives us this sense of freshness we have been missing during the long winter months. Spring gives us brightness and colors we have been longing for while looking at blankets of snow covering the grounds. Let’s cook some scrumptious recipes to feed not only our bodies but our minds.30 Indianapolis South LIVING WELL Magazine • Spring 2014
