Simple Joyful Food

small ideas that add joy to life

Sharing food… a little bit here and a little bit there.

May 21, 2015 Leave a Comment

There are times when you don’t feel like cooking at home and you have a little fun eating out, trying new places, visiting with family and friends, and eventually you come back home.

That’s what I’ve been doing lately.  Have you noticed my last post here was May 4th? Yep. I’ve been out creating sponsored recipes and sharing food… a little bit here and a little bit there.

ARKANSAS FOOD & FARM MAGAZINE

The spring issue published spotlights I wrote showcasing local food stars Anne Harris of Zuppa Zuppa Soup Kitchen in Fayetteville and the House of Webster in Rogers.

ARKANSAS WOMEN BLOGGERS
Every Friday the ARWB site shares a food related post and last Friday it was my turn. Now that spring is in full swing and summer is fast approaching, I talked about creating the perfect picnic. The answer may surprise you.

GRASS ROOTS FARMERS COOP

This is just a teaser for you since their official site hasn’t yet gone live.  However, if you are in the market for a yearlong delivery service of local meats and poultry delivered to your doorsteps, check out this link on their facebook page to find out more details.

And just like the nwafoodie blog, these sites all represent eating well, which makes me happy.
Eat well, my friend. Eat well.

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?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

“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
