In 2007, I started this blog. I had a brilliant idea to stay home with my kids and become a super famous food writer, except that in reality, I sucked at it, and I wasn’t particularly healthy, and in 2007, that was sorta the in thing. The vegan-non glutens were ruling the internet, and I was telling you about how my grandma would add brown sugar to spaghetti sauce.
So, I started writing about other things, one thing led to another, and five years later, here I am, writing about mostly non food things with a stupid name.
People would come here and be all, where’s the food, and I’d be like, what food, douche bag?
What food, indeed.
So slowly, slowly, slowly I’ve been making the change. You can still get here by going to BarefootFoodie.com, but a more direct path would be BrittanyHerself.com
You can still find me at the same place on Facebook, twitter, and Pinterest.
Honestly, nothing should really change for you at all, this is really more of an FYI.
Oh, and you can still find food here, Brittany will just be eating it. Herself.
(First person narrative and a pun? Comedic genius.)
Dearest,
I am here to tell you that adding brown sugar to spaghetti sauce is The Way To Go and anyone who says otherwise is wearing crazypants.
I have a humor blog that has food at the end of it. It’s confusing. I called it “eggton,” which is also confusing because it’s what happens when you drop croutons into scrambled eggs by accident and you’re too drunk to take them out so you just scramble them up. DELICIOUS.
I live in Alabama now, where people are like “humor blog what?” then “food blog what?” and I just stand there uncomfortably, wishing I were wearing pearls.
What I’m saying is– I like the change you’ve made, and life is weird.

OK, way to totally mess with my head on a Monday! I became totally freaked that you were giving up your blog. Whew, mental breakdown overted.
:-)
I had the same thought as Andrea – I got all panic-y and wondered where my next blog fix would come from!
And, don’t be so sure about that ‘no food’ thing. I made your cauliflower bake and I’ve got my whole family hooked!
Change is good. And food is good. And funny is good. And also, you called Andy “hubby” back then which was super uncomfortable to me because that word makes me go blargh. I’ll follow you where ever you want to go to be yourself.
I was so scared when I saw the post title, I thought you were leaving us….me….I would cry.
Love the name change, I think it is awesome!
My husband won’t eat spaghetti sauce unless it has brown sugar. I also add it to my chili. Yes.

Seriously!? OMG I have never found another person who does it! Thank you, I knew I wasn’t crazy. I mean, it’s not healthy, but it’s ridiculously good.
Whhhaaat?! I put brown sugar in my spaghetti!! And chili. And a little tiny bit in beef stew.
Ditto that. I thought it was normal? Heh. But that stands true of many things in my life: I just assume my way is normal until someone tells me different.
Your blog makes my day, pretty much every time you post!
Love the name change!
Love brown sugar! haha ( I use it in spaghetti sauce, chili, and it’s super great if you sprinkle a bit on sauteed onions- gives them a great ,light caramely sweetness) Yum!
FYI, Barefoot Foodie was no longer feeding to my reader. I had to go and figure out what the hell was going on and resubscribe.
