Happy 200th Post!

It’s crazy to think that this is my 200th post on the blog!  As soon as I came to this realization I started clicking back through that last 199 posts.  While it was really fun to reflect, I came to the realization that my blog posts were 97% about the food and not so much about the fun that went along with the food.  To me, fun and food go hand in hand, and if there’s anything I’d like to do differently in the next 200 posts, it’s to focus on the food AND everything that goes with the food—the fun, the friends, the family, and the happy.  I am 3 chapters in to the Happiness Project after all

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
