Tanya

Hi everyone! My name is Tanya and I'm madly in love with Jesus Christ. He is everything to me. He changed my life drastically and I couldn't imagine a moment without Him! In everything I do, I want to please God. He's the One whom my soul loves, and I want my life to glorify Him and my body to be poured out for Him as a living sacrifice. That's partly where food comes in! Who doesn't love food!? Well, before I fell in love with God, I had never really truly considered what types of food went into my body and how foods nourish my body. I just ate whatever tasted good without putting any effort into giving my body good, whole foods. What changed my heart and mind was falling in love with the Creator of all things and gaining a deep and pure appreciation for all of His beautiful creation, particularly in (but definitely not limited to) food. Different colors, textures, tastes, nutrients, vitamins, and purposes for foods in relation to how it nourishes and keeps us healthy began to totally astound me, as I grew in a deeper fellowship with God. Wanting my body to be for Him alone and to glorify Him, I drastically changed what I consume and how I consume it. Going from an empty-nutrient life of low-fat and light processed food diet and sometimes binges, to looking at whole foods and natural foods as divinely created and oh so beautiful. This deep appreciation and love for the beautiful foods that God provides this earth made me put time and effort into cooking, creating, and enjoying dishes that I try to keep as whole, clean, and natural as possible. Loving God and all of the beauty He has created, as well as caring about my health because I know God lives in me is what fires my spirit. Now with everything I eat, I praise my God and I enjoy His provision and love in the foods He provides! He's a beautiful God!
