Why do I want to be the next Foodbuzz Food Blog Star?  Because I love food! 

I love learning about it, talking about it, tasting it, and making it.  When I go to a restaurant my husband knows better than to ask about my day, because I want to analyze everything on the menu.  Once I’ve painstakingly made a choice I spend the rest of the meal describing every flavor and texture on my plate and begging my dining companions to “just take one bite!”

I read every food magazine I can get my hands on and sometimes I reread cookbooks like I’m visiting an old friend.

I go over my weekly meal plans on the treadmill and my workouts fly by.  I’ve thought up so many recipes as I was falling asleep that now I keep a notebook at the head of my bed.

But a lot of people love food.  I think I deserve to be the next Food Blog Star because of my unique perspective.  I may not have it all figured out yet, but I try to keep a culinary balance of health and fun.  I read some blogs because they inspire me, but I think I am a blogger that readers can relate to.  I have my cake, and eat tofu too!

I recently returned to school to study to become a Registered Dietician; I want to be able to help people eat in a way that makes them feel good.  Some of my favorite dishes to prepare are big bowls of fresh veggies.

Anything loaded with fruit is a close second, especially caramelized pineapple!

I try to eat for my health; but you can’t be healthy if you’re not happy!  What a bleak world it would be without cupcakes.

And just try to take away my diet soda!

It’s all about balance.  I hope that my blog helps my reader to find their balance, and that’s why I’d like to be the next Food Blog Star.
