Hello I’m Linette, I spent many years in the corporate world, but after my son was born, I decided I wanted to spend quality time with him, and get in touch with my creative side. I enjoy writing, especially about gardening, creating, and maintaining your home.
I discovered blogging about four years ago, I’ve been blogging and writing for a living for a couple years now. I’ve always loved to write about food, but in 2010 my whole relationship with food changed. I landed in the emergency room one Friday night with my blood pressure through the roof at 225/115. I had pains shooting up my neck, and it felt like someone was pressing on my chest.
I wasn’t having a heart attack, but it was definitely a wake up call for my life and eating habits. Since then I’ve been on a journey to heal myself with food and lifestyle changes. It’s been a continuous learning process. I’ve lost close to 70 pounds and kept it off for about 1 year as of the first part of 2012.
I’m happy to say I’ve been off of all my blood pressure medication for over a year. During the journey I found out I have an issue with starches and the gluten in many grains. I’ve drastically changed my eating habits, and I feel 1000% better!
I’ve always written about food here, but I struggled a bit after the changes to find my purpose. Now I’m on a mission to help others with tasty healthy recipes, and stories from our life on the farm in rural Ohio.
I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do!
