Happy Birthday…to Including Cake!
My blog is now one year old…whoop!
Actually I tell
a lie, today is actually 1 year+1 week as it was this time last week that I actually
reached the milestone but I was away camping without any form of internet (and
barely a phone signal!) and so could not do anything to celebrate at the time.
So, to
celebrate, albeit a little belatedly (belated birthdays are good right, cos they
are always unexpected!) A cake….. of the cheesecake variety to follow the theme
of my deliciously successful turtle cheesecake.
A few other
fruity friends wanted to help out…but alas they couldn’t all fit on the top of the
cake.
well it made the big kid in me smile! |
So a whole
year…wow… I could never have imagined making it this far or where is would lead,
all the potential it has thrown my way and all the beliefs it has stirred in my
soul.
Well I’m not
stopping now and I just hope that over the next year (and beyond) this can become
more than just a blog. I want to take my passions of food and photography more
directly into people’s lives. I want to learn and understand more. Most of all I hope I can come to reach more
people to help them think outside the box when it comes to food and to continue
to prove that healthy food can taste so good and reap such rewards both
mentally and physically.
Food really
is the medicine of the future. This I truly believe.
One book I mentioned
very early on in my blog’s history, is The China Study. Of all the research I have
come across, this has to be one of the most compelling publications from a scientific
(and not simply moral) perspective of the benefits of a plant based diet. Upon
reading this I was hooked.
Last but not
least, I truly appreciate you all for joining me on my journey and the input
you offer, whether you are a long time reader or someone who may come across me
once in a while. I hope I can continue to inspire you. If you have any thoughts as to how I could continue to improve please chime in... for example: more sweet/savoury recipes, photos of the processes, fitness/health related non recipe posts, more/less about 'me' in the posts or anything else that comeas to your mind. Oh, and if you have ideas for recipes you want to be 'healthanized' please shout...i'm up for the challenge!
P.S If you want to have a
little chuckle, this was my very
first post!
P.P.S Strawberry
cheesecake recipe to follow shortly…promise!
