FOOD LOVE.

It's a little known fact about me that I'm very much a hippie on the inside (little known because I probably don't use enough #cleaneating hashtags on insta?)  I am irrationally excited about healthy food. I have trouble containing myself in health food stores (I often exclaim things out loud, like "yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and "oh my god they actually sell this here!?!?!"). Liquid chlorophyll? I'll drink that. Hemp seeds? Fuck yeah! All varieties of cooking oils as facial moisturiser? You bet. I juice my vegetables almost every day, and often find I feel anxious and out of control of my life when I'm not in control of my food. That's probably a really unhealthy attitude (and there's a whole corresponding back story there, by the way), but at least a health food habit is better than being a crack whore.

I believe that food is medicine, and that we all have the power to heal and cure ourselves through the food we eat, and the food we don't eat.

Disclaimer (before you all JUDGE ME): though I feel good about nurturing myself through food and nutrition, I'm first and foremost a food lover in general. Which means that, god yes, I do enjoy ice cream, and wine, and even a good burger every now and then. In fact, I have this super rare genetic disorder that scrambles the receptors between my brain and my mouth, which means that when presented with a chocolate chip cookie I physically can not not say no. In fact, the only response my brain can register is 'hell fuck yeah'. Food gives me great pleasure in life and though I mostly keep it healthy and real, I absolutely don't believe in depriving myself of the good (bad?) shit. Just keep it in moderation.

Which brings me to this. MY "FOOD BLOG", (LOL NOT).

It's long been a personal goal of mine to re-create my favourite bad foods, and turn them into somewhat healthy, kinda less bad versions. After a hundred soul-crushing failures, I've finally managed to create a couple of delicious recipes, and what better place to share them than right here with you guys (que cheese).

So stayed tuned for my totally irregular but totally delicious "KINDA HEALTHY RECIPES".

Also, just as an aside, I have some new food & health goals:

- Drink more water (I'm trying to drink 2 - 3 litres a day without wetting myself)
- Step up my juice game, because I just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and now I'm all about dat 10 day juice reboot with Joe.
- Move more. 30 minutes of walking really isn't as horribly unpleasant as I assume it is.
- Kick the sugar addiction, because I'm a monster.

Up next, these suckas:
