edible post.

i'm obsessed with food.

at any given time

i have multiple obsessions;

yarn

yoga

photo albums

tattoos

books

and food.

these are the things that occupy my mind

at any given moment of the day.

as spring dawns and summer approaches

i find myself frothing

to get to the 'good stuff'

and ultimately to grow it myself.

but more than that, 

i have become so incredibly aware

of food

where it comes from

what's in it

and how it affects my body

my husband's body

my child's body.

(re: food inc. here  -- scary wonderful).

needless to say

our diets have changed drastically

since the days of yore.

gone are the totino's party pizzas from our freezer

replaced by free-range chicken

and organic peas.

no more hamburger helper in the pantry

it has been taken over by dried herbs

oats and granola.

this will not be my child:

so we eat well.
we make sure there's lots of color to our meals.
and yesterday
i watched my little girl
plant her first green beans.

i can't wait to watch them
and her
grow.
