Instagram snapshot of thejoyofeatingwell profile

Twitter was the first social platform that I whole-heartedly embraced. I loved that you could instantly find people based on location, interests and key words. It opened up a world of opportunity. I still remember the day when I was tweeting, asking for recommendations about places to eat in NYC for an upcoming trip. Suggestions came pouring in from strangers all over the internet. One lady, in particular, was extremely helpful and we talked back and forth quite a bit. I realized exactly who she was when I arrived in The Big Apple and saw a window display at Bergdorf Goodman’s that featured her likeness (along with other Manhattan food experts like Martha Stewart). Her name? Ohhhhh, just Melissa Clark… the food writer, cookbook author and staff reporter for the New York Times Food section. 

Pretty cool, huh?

Instagram is a little bit different than Twitter. Instagram is all about the visual story, the aesthetics and inspiration. Click on a profile and you will instantly get a feel of what that profile is about and what they aspire to be/inspire you to want to be. I love following a cornucopia of Instagrammers from food bloggers, home décor geniuses, everyday people just sharing life and Hashtags that interest me. 

How about you? Are you on Instagram?

I have two Instagram profiles. The first one is NWAFOODIE. My local food focused on local foodies who want to be in-the-foodie-know. Basically, all things food-related in Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas. I like to share local finds at grocery stores, restaurants and all the interesting touchpoints when it comes to foods, drinks and discoveries. If you’re interested, follow my NWAFOODIE Instagram and let me know yours!

My second Instagram profile is THEJOYOFEATINGWELL. This is a brand new Instagram for me, allowing me to cast a wider storytelling net. It’s focused on health-conscious foodies caught up in the busyness of life. Instagram is allowing me to micro-blog about short topics focused on small, simple suggestions to help find more joy in eating well. If you’re interested, follow my THEJOYOFEATINGWELL Instagram and let me knows yours! 

What are some of your favorite Instagrammers that you follow that you think I would be interested in? What makes them stand out to you?

Happy ‘gramming!

Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards it like a moth to a flame? The fire’s warmth is more than just heat; the foods you cook on a flame add more than nourishment.⁠

One of my favorite memories as a kid growing up in the Research Triangle in North Carolina was the annual church hayride at the country home of our friends, the Barbours. We lived in a suburb of the state capital, close to physically yet far away from life on the outskirts of town filled with Tobacco fields, cotton patches, and red dirt roads. ⁠
⁠
The Barbours had some farm that my little self couldn’t comprehend. In reality, they may have had just land, yet to me; land meant a farm. And besides, they had a big ol’ barn, tractors, and hosted the annual hayride.⁠
⁠
My favorite part of the memory was the firepit, where everyone gathered around, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t matter if you were a kid or elderly. ⁠
⁠
You may think, “But I don’t have a fireplace or firepit! What can I do?” ⁠
⁠
Improvise.⁠
⁠
Youtube a crackling fireplace video or a firepit on a beach. Dim the lights and turn the crackle up. Invite yourself to a friend’s home with ample backyard and offer to bring ‘smores. Go to a park.⁠

Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitio Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitions for the word nourishment. One is “to provide with food,” and the other is “to provide for,” to provide support.⁠
⁠
I love that.⁠
⁠
Just as food sustains and keeps us alive, feeling supported sustains us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s how we build bonds, friendships, and hope for the future.⁠

“Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I s “Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to say those words again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠

Cheers!⁠
⁠
Did you know that folks in the UK will use the word “cheers” as “thank you?” From wedding toasts to praising someone for remarkable achievement, raising a glass with a special someone is a special bonding moment.⁠
⁠
I love that part about “cheers” and “thank” can be the same. ⁠
⁠
Have you ever wanted to become more thankful? More grateful? More appreciative of, well, everything that we take for granted?⁠
⁠
Why not give thanks and cheer a little more often?⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
