My idea of good food.

I am no foodie.

Previously working as an eating disorder nurse, I have always steered away from the idea of good food and bad food.

I know about the benefits of nutrition from a variety of sources. I think most people do.

I've also witnessed the devastation of isolating food groups, demonising food and creating rules around food intake and behaviours.

These are usually linked to emotions or grief, but the reinforcement of the ideas of dietary intake by the larger community can have terrible ramifications.

For this reason I haven't engaged in too many food related posts during my two years on steemit.

My motto

There is no good food or bad food, it's just food.

Eat it, enjoy it, nurture your body.

During recent times when I have been quite sick I have slightly altered my view on good food.

When you are sick and struggling to cook because of pain and fatigue, or away from family for medical treatment, there is one type of food that I prize.

Food made lovingly by friends and neighbours.

... And in this case... Strangers.

My child goes to a day care that is run and by a church.

We are not members of the congregation in fact we are openly atheist.

This hasn't stopped them from becoming the most consistent supporters of my family during this protracted difficult time.

Last week my husband picked our child up after work and received this gift as well.

Home made soups and baked fruit loafs and the fruit in the above picture as well.

It didn't say who made it, just Bless.

Yesterday my lovely neighbour Elli stopped by to simply give me this beautiful sour dough fruit loaf and a hug.

Monday Fruit and Veg that definitely needed documenting.

Support and food for the body and soul.
