#ad This cute digital announcement was created by Paperless Post.

Hello friends! I’ve been quietly transitioning for some time into a blog that focuses on simplifying so we can learn to have more joy in food moments. I really appreciate you coming back often to check out what is new, your encouraging comments and overall support of all things related to food happiness. Thank you!

Simplifying to me means focusing on the simplicity of fresh ideas when it comes to the exploration of food, eating and enjoying life. As you know, I’ve been devoted to conveying a sense of joy, curiosity and wonder of all the touch points of eating coupled with a fun and upbeat tone since I started this blog in 2009. That won’t change. I’ve always been focused on eating well as I know you are, too.

So, what WILL change?

 

  • nwafoodie now automatically redirects to thejoyofeatingwell. This means you do nothing on your part whenever you want to access old recipes or content. Seamless!

 

  • NWAFOODIE will still be active as nwafoodie on Instagram and have a dedicated page on thejoyofeatingwell.com so my local peeps can stay in-the-foodie-know. Take a look at the menu on this blog page. See? There’s nwafoodie as a page link. Click on it and you will see all posts that are Arkansas-specific.

 

  • I have created a new thejoyofeatingwell on Instagram that will be focused on all things related to simplifying so we can have more joy in food moments. Let’s follow each other!

 

During the month of January, you will slowly see me updating this site and social with new blog headers and photos that reflect thejoyofeatingwell. Overall content will be more streamlined (I am so excited about this!) and geared toward helping health-conscious foodies like myself who are caught up in the busyness of life to understand that eating well can easily be accomplished by keeping it simple so that preparing and serving food becomes one of our most joyful pleasures of living.

Of course, I will continue to have a secondary focus on Arkansas. I will continue helping local foodies explore their backyard and understand that they don’t have to live in a big city to have great resources at their fingertips so that they can be in-the-foodie-know.

I had fun playing around with the digital stationary options at Paperless Post to come up with a playful announcement! If you are a subscriber to nwafoodie, you will receive this cute interactive digital ecard announcing the upcoming changes to this blog. Beyond this announcement, I look forward to using Paperless Post for special events such as Thanksgiving, Memorial Day and July 4thbarbecue occasions. There are many options available and everything is customizable with fonts, colors and designs. Well, I say customizable in the easiest sense. I am no designer and Paperless Post made the process super easy. Simply purchase digital “coins” and input the email address to whomever you want to send your flyer, card, invitation or announcement to. Simple.

Do you have any questions that I can answer for you?

 

What do you think of when you see the phrase “the joy of eating well?”

 

Happy joyful eating.

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always hav I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always have a "little something" in the pantry to satisfy the little bit of sweet tooth that I have! After a zillion years of blogging, I can count on one hand the number of desserts that I've blogged about. So, when I do create a recipe and actually post it, I'm like, "Look at me, I'm a baker now!" hahaha Actually, it's not all about baking. For example, I just posted a recipe for Instant Pot creme brulee with a touch of lemon. Link in bio, of course! The ingredients are super simple and the pressure cooker makes it super fast and easy. Best of all? It is #lowcarb and #keto!
I don't know about you, but man I love a good sala I don't know about you, but man I love a good salad. The best thing about this salad (okay, besides the taste) is that the ingredients are sooooo easy to make ahead of time. That means you can dinner prep and toss this salad together at the last moment. As all good salad should do.⁠
The stars of this healthy salad are the hearty veggies: sweet potatoes and radishes. You’re going to roast them first. That’s right, roast!
A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong enough to sail on its own, yet perfectly willing to tag along with the main course. In fact, I think you’ll love serving this salad whenever you may have someone at the dinner table that is drawn to more-veggies and less-meat.⁠
⁠
It’s pretty isn’t it?
Savoring.⁠ Not rushed. ⁠ Not complicated. ⁠ Savoring.⁠
Not rushed. ⁠
Not complicated. ⁠
Special. ⁠
Eating happily is in the moments of a meal.⁠
⁠
Do I do this with every meal moment? I don't, yet I'm trying. And, when I do... it IS really special. Not special like, oooo look at this perfectly grilled filet with candles and fresh flowers. Instead, it's more like, hey - look at this moment we're enjoying  together or alone. It's about savoring, keeping it simple, and really focusing on the moment.⁠
⁠
I recently traveled and someone commented that they could never have me over because they would be embarrassed to cook for me because they don’t cook fancy. That made me sad and I was quick to say how much I focus on the simple things, the simple foods. The ones that aren't fancy! Honestly, mostly my food may look complicated but that's just styling. If you look at my pictures on my IG profile - or recipes on my blog - they're simple. Simple ingredients. Pecans. Beans. Fish. Martinis. :)⁠
⁠
If you ever need encouragement that you're on the right track by slowing down to savor, I'm here for you.
Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠ ⁠ Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠
⁠
A well-stocked pantry, that's what.⁠
⁠
I find that keeping a lean and purposeful pantry makes me breathe easier AND - ironically - makes me more creative in the kitchen. Have you ever felt that way?⁠
⁠
I am curious to know what are the top ingredients that you like to keep stocked in your pantry. 
⁠
I'll start:⁠
⁠
1) nuts for snacks⁠
2) canned diced tomatoes (for soup)⁠
3) small yellow potatoes⁠
4) spices⁠
5) pre-made sauces (for last minute assistance)⁠
⁠
Your turn!
Oh, hi!⁠ Are you striving to eat healthy and wan Oh, hi!⁠
Are you striving to eat healthy and wanting more veggies in your life? Maybe you keep saying, "I should eat more fish, or barley, or whatever." 

I'm curious, what ARE you saying you should eat more of?⁠
⁠
I'll start: 
I want to eat more fish.⁠

How I'll accomplish this habit goal: 
Buy the fish. Cook the fish.⁠
⁠
There, simple.⁠
Your turn.

“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
