What I Love | Shopping and Cooking

Hello, Lovelies

I thought I would try something new for my blog. Basically, it's going to be a little snippet about something I love to do or be a part of and why. My thought process behind it and what I am hoping it will lead to in the future. I would like for this new feature to be what I am thinking about at the time or go with a theme for a month or holiday. Plan on reading a What I Love post about once or twice a month.

There is something that I feel every time I go to the store for grocery shopping, something hard for me to put into words. I love taking the time to think up meals for myself and family and trying to get my brother and dad to try new foods. This is not to mention eating healthier. I love having so many options to choose from. I can try new recipes, experiment with flavor, prepare something delicious and healthy. 

My favorite part of any grocery store is their produce section. Fresh, non processed food is a staple for me. A market would probably be good also, but my family normally goes grocery shopping at Meijer. For those of you who don't know, Meijer is a Michigan department store similar to Walmart. I'm not completely sure why I prefer grocery shopping at Meijer, but I can tell you this. I don't like the milk from Walmart. 

Grocery shopping now makes me think of how I will be grocery shopping for my own children and husband some day. I think of what I will prepare for them for dinner and teaching my kids to cook. 

Cooking can be relaxing or stressful, time consuming but fun. It brings me joy to be in the kitchen. I look forward to having my own house and my own kitchen in the future. I can imagine everything that I will cook and bake for my family, friends, neighbors. I am excited for when I will be able to host a dinner party. I am extremely excited for this all. When I am doing these things, I feel right where I belong. Right where God wants me to be. 

Most people my age probably haven't thought much about this at all shopping, cooking, homemaking future, but here I am. So ready.
