The deliciousness begins!

Welcome to my deliciously imperfect blog!

I’ve been dreaming of creating my own healthy eating and recipe blog for several years but that little voice called perfection has held me back. I follow many outstanding blogs, some of which are listed on the right, and I wanted my blog to be as good as the ones that inspire me. Some of the bloggers, like Heidi from 101 Cookbooks and Hélène from Tartelette are professional photographers, whilst others like Kathryn from London Bakes, are self-taught and working in other professions. Whilst I know that they have either been trained, and/or honed their skills over many years, and it’s only to be expected that my photos won’t be as good as theirs (for now), I’ve struggled to let go and do it anyways.

I’ve let excuses such as “my flat’s too dark to take photos” and “I don’t have the right equipment” get in the way. Now that I’ve moved into a wonderfully bright house, use my boyfriend’s Nikon D80 DSLR camera and have a cupboard full of props, I can’t use those excuses any more! The latest one is: “I’m rubbish at composing shots!” I can just about manage a decent close up, but forget anything with backgrounds!

I’ve now reached a point were it’s more ‘painful’ not to start my own blog and follow my dreams, than it is to launch it. A couple of weeks ago I realised that it’s accuracy, not perfection that I need to aim for, which is a whole lot easier to achieve!

I love to cook, try new recipes and learn about nutrition; I’ve also recently lost two stones (28lbs) through Weight Watchers by eating delicious and nutritious foods that no one would ever think were diet. Here, on Choosing Delicious, I will share my favourite ProPointed recipes, nutritional titbits and insights into my life.

Whilst Choosing Delicious won’t be perfect, it will come from my heart. My greatest hope is that you enjoy reading, and can sometimes relate to, my posts.

I look forward to connecting with you through Choosing Delicious.
