the food matters project 
I enjoyed being an active participant in this project for awhile until work got in the way and I had to let it go. (the Food Matters Project, not work, that is). I had lots of favourites, and this was one of them.
I learned to be confident about experimenting and making my own substitutions. Thanks to all of our hosts for the past 75 weeks!
Elaine
I remember your post that week and I was reminded that I want to make your Thai Chili Sauce. Thank you for participating Elaine!
Though I only cooked and posted a little more than half the time, I really, really enjoyed this project. Here’s my final post. Thanks for being an inspiration! http://culinary-adventures-with-cam.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-food-matters-project-wrap-up.html
Camilla! What a nice post and reminder of some great recipes you cooked!
Well, this has been a fun adventure! I can’t believe I cooked 70 out of the 74 weeks! My husband had a blast trying something new each week.
We had a spread sheet going for this project and kept track of who participated each week. Thank you Aura for helping me with this.
Some fun facts- Together we cooked 838 times. Amazing!
The top cooked recipe was No-Work Mostly Whole Wheat Pizza Dough on week 11. Maybe the No Work had something to do with it 🙂 Second was Curried Tomato Soup on week 7 and tied for 3rd was Bruschetta on week 15 and Corn-Avocado Salad (with a Little Something Seared on top) from week 24.
Thank you to Erin who did so much work behind the scenes and kept me sane as I learned WordPress. Oh, and rescued me many times even just a couple of weeks ago! Most of all thank you to Sarah and Kate for starting such a wonderful project.
Thanks to all who participated. You all brought so much creativity to this project.
Thank you Lexi, Erin, Sarah & Kate! This was a great project and I tried so many recipes (although we weren’t as ambitious as you Lexi!), and definitely learned to really never judge a book by its cover. I will definitely continue to explore Mark Bittman’s recipes!

Thanks Evi! It was a fun project. You did try a lot of recipes and you were #4 in posts! I was pretty ambitious but while wondering if I had OCD….I remembered that when this project started I had just started working part time so I had the time to really participate and enjoy the reason I went part time…To Cook!!
Lexi, thank you so much for carrying on our project! Sarah and I really, really appreciate your hard work. I think we raised awareness that food matters, and that was our goal. I’m sad to see the project end, but it was great while it lasted. Many thanks to all who participated!
Thanks Kate! We all loved this project.
Lexi, thank you for continuing to manage the project, you have done an excellent job! Kate and Sarah, thank you for starting the FMP. This project has been super fun and I loved cooking out of the book and sharing thoughts with other FMP members. Most of all, I loved getting to know everyone, I feel like we’re all close friends even though we haven’t really met each other in person. Life has been demanding a lot from me lately, hence, the absence from FMP and my blog too. This has been an amazing experience!
Thanks Margarita! I has been fun getting to know you. Best wishes with your move and exciting new life.
Ladies!
This was such an incredible group and I feel like you’ve been a part of my life the last year and a half. Working on a post this weekend with a round up of recipes and my thoughts on the project. Thanks Kate, Sarah, and Lexi for making it happen and work for this long!!!
Thanks Keely! It was fun cooking along with you!
Thanks for a great experience everyone. I learned a ton and have a serious list of new delicious recipes because of this group! Going to miss it. 🙂
