Everyone keeps telling me I need to start posting on my blog again. I don’t disagree with them, I really miss the blog but life just gets pretty busy now that Fox Valley Foodie has a family to manage. That however doesn’t stop me from cooking as much as ever. Oops pardon me... There is currently a little four-year old begging me to play with him and I have no defense against his sad little eyes…
Ok, after teaching him the finer points of Super Mario Bros 3 the kid is now in bed. Thanks for waiting.
Like I was saying, besides the fact that I am still cooking as much as ever, I am still also addicted to taking pictures of my food. Just ask all of my Facebook friends that I bombard with my weekly food porn. Maybe I have a problem… Hold on a second, I have to go on a bear hunt… no, not a grizzly bear, apparently there is a fuzzy stuffed bear hiding down here that holds the magical powers to get kids to sleep.
Anyhow, where was I? Ah yes, I was saying how I tend to spam pictures of my food on Facebook like your aunt spams candy crush invites. Finally after my fourth food related Facebook post in the past 30 hours it occurred to me that maybe I should redirect my epicurean barrage towards a more eager audience. Perhaps a website dedicated to food. A blog maybe? Hey wait!!! I own a blog! And it is dedicated to food! This is so genius it may just work…
And thus, FoxValleyFoodie.com has been reborn.
I made myself a promise when I first started FoxValleyFoodie: I would only run the blog as long as it is fun. If it gets to be a chore or burdensome at all I would quit. Food is something I am passionate about; I never want to ruin that. The whole point of this blog is to share my passion with others and to have their passion refuel mine. There is nothing I love more than a reader’s comment reciting the joy they experienced when my instruction guided them to enjoy a meal that was previously out of their reach. I take pride in not just regurgitating a recipe but rather provide a detailed walk-through demonstrating exactly how to mirror my results and avoid common pitfalls. That satisfaction is something Facebook posts can never replicate.
So with that in mind, sharpen your knives, cure the cast iron, and unplug the smoke alarms. It is time for Fox Valley Foodies to cook!
Stay tuned…
