NWAFOODIE

nwafoodie, a year in review and reflection.

nwafoodie yearly review (c)nwafoodie

Well now. I took a stroll through these past twelve months of blog posts and found a very interesting trend that took place… an over-emphasis on priorities. Not that it was any surprise since my “word of the year” last year was PRIORITIES.

Which meant two major priorities on this space… (1) a focus on the big picture and (2) a focus on eating well and exploring our own backyards.

Here is a mash-up of 2016 blog posts that fit under those two over-arching priorities.

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“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
