I am a Christian, Mennonite specifically, with anorexia nervosa. This blog is my journey cooking through a recipe each week from the Mennonite cookbook, More-with-Less by Doris Janzen Longacre. You might wonder what the point of this is. Sometimes, I wonder the same thing. But I think it is important as Mennonites and other Christians think about the ethics of food, hunger, and the poor, that we do not shape the conversation around the idea of guilt.

Come journey with me on the path of re-wiring
I definitely took a hiatus. I'm not sure you can count multiple years as
a hiatus, but that is what I called it. Since my last post there have
been numerous Lenten seasons, life-altering moments, and many monotonous
moments. So goes the life of human beings. I have done some very hard
work with re-wiring my brain, which I wrote about a couple of years ago and just posted tonight. I just
wanted to say that I am here. I am re-starting my writing. The format and content are changing, but the theme and message will remain the same. My project of cooking through the Mennonite cookbook did end with my last post in 2014, but I have so much to share from my journey to health and recovery. I plan to take you with me on this journey as I share what it was like to re-wire my brain through journal entries from the past few yeas and stories that have shaped my life. Thank you
for reading.
