So, “who is Healthy Plate Healthy You?” you might ask. Let me share a little bit about me. I am a wife and mom to four kids; 21, 14, 10, and 9. I am a lover of music and the written word. I am passionate about creating nutritious and flavorful meals that my family can enjoy around our dinner table. I enjoy quite moments of reflection and devotion in the mornings on our balcony. I live for spending time with family, and friends who have become family. I look forward to road trips and exploring new things with my kids. Above all else, I am grateful.
Growing up, I always wanted to get married soon after high school and have a bunch of bambinos. I mean, I had it all planned out……..it did not go the way I planned. I find it amusing, and usually frustrating, when I have something that I have all figured out and then BAM!!, something happens that we didn’t see at all. God chuckles a little, shakes His head, and then says “now let Me show you how that was suppose to go.” Let’s just say life did not take the path that I expected or wanted—–stories for another time——but what is important to note is that I am grateful for every unplanned, imperfect, and unexpected aspect of the life that I have. Now don’t get me wrong, there are frustrations, irritations, heart breaks, and unexpected curveballs; but all of them have contributed to this love and life I get to share with my husband, kids, friends, and family. I can’t imagine much that I would trade for this chaos that I call my life, and I would really enjoy it if you would join me as I occasionally share pieces of it with you.
Mostly on this blog, I will be sharing tips, recipes, advise, and etc. on nutritional planning, cooking, and eating. Creating dishes that are not only nutritious, but also delicious is one of my great passions. I also, from time to time, really have fun putting together something really delicious, but not as nutritious…….I will most likely be sharing those too! 🙂 The other great passions of my life are; God, my husband, my children, my friends and family, and roadtrips. These other loves will also show their faces from time to time on this blogging journey, so I have decided to call this a lifestyle blog. The lifestyle of a very average, everyday woman who appreciates and wants to share; gifts received, fun experienced, and lessons learned. I hope y’all decide to join me on this journey.
Love,
Beth
