Welcome to Love & Mumbo Sauce

Welcome to our blog, Love & Mumbo Sauce. We are the Johnsons (Nia McLean-Johnson and Sean Johnson). Both native Washingtonians, the home of wings and mumbo sauce (currently living in Maryland), we are newlyweds that decided to bring our love of food and wellness to a blog. Since back when we were dating, we've always posted pictures of the meals that we made together on social media and figured why not actually create a blog that details our adventures in the kitchen as well as our health journey. This is it.

On, Love & Mumbo Sauce, we will discuss:

• the meals we prepare and how we prepare them
• food shopping/cool kitchen finds (gadgets and products)
• cookbooks/food/health writing that we like/love
• restaurants that we visit both locally and in our travels
• the ways we strive to incorporate exercise and movement in our daily routine
• our efforts to eat more healthily and mindfully 
• our respective & collective health journeys

At the present time, we are "flexitarians". Essentially, we try to eat lean meats and fresh fruits and vegetables more than processed foods. In all honesty, we do like processed food, sweets, dairy, fatty foods and everything that is supposedly bad for us. Occasionally, we may mention having/making things are aren't exactly healthy. However, we realize that to achieve the wellness we desire that they need to be limited. 

Neither of us are experts in any way. Sean is a engineer and I am a graduate student pursuing an MS (possibly a PhD) in pastoral counseling. I also have my MDiv, so there may be some musings on food and theology as well.  (Sean said that there will be no musings on food and technology. Just FYI. LOL). I am a self -proclaimed foodie and in my dreams, I am a whole foods chef and famed food writer/cookbook author. Sean (who once thought prosciutto was a type of cheese) just wants to make/eat amazing food and not gain weight in the process. He does have aspirations of becoming a personal trainer, which may be apparent in his contributions to the blog. 

Anyhoo, we hope that this blog will help keep us on track and inspire others to live and eat well.
