Two years of fervency!

Today my blog turns TWO years old! How crazy and cool is that? When I first started blogging, I didn’t know where it would take me, or who might read my ramblings, or if anyone would find my life through food the teensiest bit interesting. Despite all of that, I quickly grew to love my blog—one could say it was love at first click of the “publish” button. In looking back over the last two years, all 365 posts, I feel proud. Proud of what I’ve said, what I’ve learned, and how I’ve grown, but mostly proud because this blog is ME, Mary, a forever fervent foodie.

Fervent Foodie

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

Next Let's lie down. »

Happy Anniversary! I wanted to say that I love your food blog. I discovered by doing some research on Charlotte for a travel piece I'm writing. I am blogger in Raleigh.

I am now following you on Twitter so I should be able to keep in touch.
