7 reasons having lunch with your mom rocks

1.)  She’s always super excited to join you for lunch

2.) Without you even asking, she packs you both a picnic lunch, which makes you feel like a kid again 😀

3.) Not only does she pack you lunch, but she packs you a delicious healthful oober tasty lunch

4.) She is super interested in hearing all about YOU.  (did I mention this wrap was AMAZING?)

5.) She unintentionally slips in words of wisdom that you will carry with you through your years

 

6.) She lets you take her picture for your blog…..  Moving on…

 

7.) She really is your #1 fan.

  

Here’s what’s on the agenda this weekend:

  • Friday night cookout with coworkers
  • Saturday possible cookout at my house
  • Sunday BF family cookout

In summary, there will be a lot of cooking out this weekend 😀

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

  • Your mom is so sweet to make you a picnic! So lovely! Enjoy your cookouts. Yay for a fun weekend!

  • All my mom likes to do whenever she gets some alone time with me is ask me when I'm having children. :P

  • awwwww moms are so cute! too bad she wouldn't let you take her picture ;-)

    sounds like an excellent upcoming weekend!

  • Oh, I wish my mom worked close enough that we could have wonderful picnics. Seth came up and visited me for lunch today, but we got totally not healthy chinese. :)

    I love the way it makes it feel like not a work day... at least for a little while.

    So I have a request...Could you make a list of all the foods that you use to healthifiy your meals and where you get them. For example the name and where you buy your low carb pitas and such. I've been thinking about that a lot lately, and I'd like start making some replacements in our diet.

    Thanks so much Fervent Foodie. I'm a big fan!

      • That way, after all this fabulous conferences you attend, you can update us with the most fabulous products and where to get them. Looking forward to it. Thanks Mare.

  • 1. I'm jealous of lunch with Michelle. 2. Let's make this cookout on Saturday happen. 3. Did I win the chocolate or what?
