Growing up in a Scandinavian community in northern Minnesota, the immersion into a rich history of homemade food started early. In fact, that's probably why—for better or worse—most of my life seems to revolve around food. But, sadly, we have moved away from our traditions and become a nation of drive-thrus and high-power marketing tie-ins, devoid of the history, tradition and more intangeble qualities food provides. There is hope, though. A growing number of independent spirits are banding together to support ideas that are literaly as old as time: Eat what nourishes your body and soul—organic, sustainable products from local sources. If more of us followed that seemingly simple idea, we would reduce our dependence on foreign energy, clean up the air and give our bodies what they need, instead of what makes the highest profits for large corporations.
I hope to share a bit of my journey with food in this blog and I hope to start a conversation with you too. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, inspirations and ideas about your food journey.
