Come On In and Sit a Spell

So, I've started this new blog.  I still have my other one on our own hosted system at http://beckelheimer.com/teriboopsblog/.  It is almost 2 years out of date.  I hadn't realized that until now.  I started this project in part, as a place to play while working with a Girl Scout troop on web design and blogging.  I had been toying with the idea of a new blog anyway, that would focus on food in general, but more specifically on good healthy homecooking.

I am a two time cancer survivor and over the years I tend to scrutinize more and more what I eat.  I've read enough horror stories about fast food, that there are some places I will not eat at.  I try to eat healthy, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good cheeseburger from time to time.  We primarily eat at home, but do occasionally enjoy a night out.  Then there is travel when you have to eat out.  I travel for work more than I like and not enough for fun and relaxation. 

Today it seems like so many people are eating on the go.  Eating out seems to be the norm rather than a good homecooked meal.  Growing up, meals at home were not just a time to feed the body, but a time to socialize with the family.  Dinner was the time of day when we all sat down and shared what was going on in life.  It was a time to learn from the family, to discuss issues, and plan for the future.

So come join me.  Hopefully I'll keep this updated.  If nothing else, you'll get to see what the Girl Scouts are up to and.....what's for dinner.
