Recently, in an attempt to help my husband and me with our food-challenged selves, my wonderfully helpful/knowledgeable best friend Rose turned me on to several food blogs. There is one that I am really excited about. It is called 101 Cookbooks and the tag for the site is "Super Natural Cooking". Reading the blog last week, I became inspired--not only to cook but to cook healthful food. The site does not approach healthful eating (as many other companies, chefs, etc... do) by focusing on carbohydrate consumption, caloric intake, or low fat foods. Instead, it focuses on eating pure, natural ingredients in a balanced way, while also being delicious and gorgeous. Pretty awesome indeed!

It really drove home for me the ways in which new technology has the power to revolutionize the health of the masses. Reading food blogs allows one to check out healthy recipes in a much more inexpensive and convenient way than can be done with the traditional cookbook. The food blogs also are ever-evolving, so that you don't get into the rut of cooking that favorite recipe on page 172 of a cookbook you have had for years... Finally, they add a personal touch. Instead of learning recipes that have been through the ringer at a publishing house or a slew of producers and writers on the Food Network, these are real people, doing real cooking, who are truly passionate about it. So, check out http://101cookbooks.com/ and see how blogs are revolutionizing the way we eat.
