Welcome to my virtual cafe/coffee shoppe.
I am planning on opening a coffee shoppe or a fresh food cafe in the next few years so I thought why not start with a virtual one? I can blog, try recipes, chat, etc just like I would in my real coffee shoppe/cafe. Why wait until the real thing opens?
So here we are. I invite you to have a seat and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy.
So who am I? My name is Erin Ellen. Ellen being my middle name. I was named after one of my mom's sisters and it's a good thing she picked my favorite aunt. Otherwise, it might have been awkward being named Erin Carol or Erin Gail. LOL I'm currently (May 2013) 48 years old. I'm a single woman living alone with my two dogs, Patches and Cuddles. You'll meet them soon enough. I also, have a 24 yr old son who spends most of his time working or with his girlfriend. Lucky for me he's started working out so I do get to see him at the gym from time to time.
I love food (and spirits). I also, like being fit, healthy and lean. Can I have both? Food and a fit body? Of course!!! So that will be a main topic around here. Eating good. What does that mean? Does "good" mean healthy? Does it mean tasty? I think it can mean both so that's what we're going to focus on 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time? All that stuff we know isn't the best choice but we still indulge in from time to time. You got it...cookies, cakes, alcohol, processed foods, etc. While I do eat good 90% of the time I do still like to indulge once in awhile.
