New Beginnings

Don't you just love the possibilities a new beginning brings? Beginnings give us a chance to try something new, get rid of things that don't work anymore, and stretch ourselves in new ways. Savored joy is that new beginning for me. ​  

While the concept has been something I've been developing since we closed our bakery Petit Sweets 13 years ago, recently I've felt my world changing as I know it. You see, I have a high school senior who is anticipating his own new beginnings as I type this. Yes, there is still one more at home (he'll be a high school freshman next year- more beginnings!); however I sense my role changing rapidly. This transition is bittersweet, but I can feel that it is time for all of us to stretch our wings a bit and try the new on for size. The time to begin is now. Savored Joy is all about the joys we find in life from the simple, such as a delicious home-cooked meal, to the more elaborate, like a dream vacation, and everything in between. I hope you'll join me in this new beginning and stretch your wings along with me.

And since new beginnings are the perfect time for a beautiful, delicious, healthy new recipe, here's one for you to try. I hope it fuels your body as you begin the new!
