We’re reading chapter 1 together of Jen Hatmaker’s book, 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess. It’s not too late to join us – pick up a copy from DaySpring for only $10 here. Here’s the whole book club schedule – jump on in with us! Now, on to the book and why Jen reduced her culinary habits to just seven foods for one experimental month:

Picking seven foods is like trying to pick my favorite kid. Some people eat to live, but I live to eat. I come from a long line of eaters; my sister is in culinary school in New York City as I write this. We long-distance foodie talk once a week until Brandon gives me the I just can’t take it anymore look. … Food is the ceintrifugal force that draws together my people.
~From 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess, by Jen Hatmaker

So why did Jen choose just seven foods to sustain her for one month? She shares more about her “why” in the this week’s video:

Discuss:

If you had to choose just 7 foods for a month – what would they be? And more importantly, do you think you and Jen would walk away with some of the same lessons? Care to share in the comments?

Share:

Join us Friday as we all pool thoughts on what we’ve learned from exploring our kitchens and our cravings – and we’re not just talking food here. We’ll have a guest post from Hayley at the Tiny Twig about how this chapter impacted her and her family and we welcome you to link up your posts and/or comments on the topic as well.
