But seriously, what is with the island? My kids slay me with major deep conversation starters when I’m mincing garlic and there are two flames lit on the hob!

Facts! (As my 20-year-old would say) It is honestly the smallest space in our house for all of us to convene (and the busiest!) and yet it's where all the deepest conversations take place!

I’m excited that you resurrected “Mai Time in the Kitchen” because I enjoyed reading it way back when our oldest kids were little! Also, a plant-based, real food journey healed me of some serious health problems ten years ago, but I gradually fell back to my old eating habits. I am not sick like before, but lately I have been thinking a lot about how much better my body felt during that time, and I am trying to convince myself that it is worth that overhaul again. I suspect your writing will help inspire and nudge me. I’d like to hear more about your journey in that area!

Yes, Jamie, I figured it was time to bring "Mai Time" back to life (and really, doesn't that feel like a lifetime ago?!?) I love hearing that plant-based eating helped you back in the day, and I'll definitely be sharing my own journey with it as Mai Time unfolds. Thanks so much for joining me her in The Kitchen, and I hope you find some inspiration here!

Welcome to the 'stack! I'm excited for this space to grow. I'm a major (plant-based) foodie myself, and I'm not averse to a few words on the side :)
