My journey - Part 2
People were getting used to my new way of cooking and started asking for recipes. I never wrote things down or followed recipes, I just created as I went. So there were no recipes to give them đ I finally decided to create a website where I could finally write down recipes & others could access them. Thatâs where LivingJen started đ
Back then I created LivingJen.com to be able to share simple nutritious meals that would feed the body, mind, and soul. Meals that donât take long to make & arenât complex.đ This was very important to me because I learned that the food we eat can help with our overall health, our energy, moods, emotions, fighting diseases and so much more. I wanted to share my creations & knowledge to let others know that we can direct our health on the right path if we choose. I wanted to show people there were other natural options for eating.
I would always & still to this day get teased how my food doesnât look that presentable đ but that it tastes Great! Iâm ok with that đ
Example - I make these amazing black bean patty kinda things that taste delicious... but... they look like cookies đ
I remember many years ago taking my mom to her oncologist appt. We walked in and in the waiting room, there were bowls of candy. I was shocked. I had been learning that sugar feeds diseases & to have candy at an oncologist office was not ok in my book.đą
Mom was very dehydrated from the chemo. And the Dr. told her she can drink Gatorade for the electrolytes. My mind started racing and all I could think of was food coloring and sugar.đŹ Iâm glad I was in the room because I asked if she could have coconut water instead. He was very nice & open to my idea and said that would be a good option as well.đđ»
