The Sky is the Limit

Hi everyone.

It is an honor to be the first post on Foodies in Service to America (FISTA).  I want to thank the readers out there who have chosen to hear our story.  Most of you will be AmeriCorps members, VISTA, NCCC, State/National, serving somewhere in the United States.  For that reason, our mission will resonate with you more than others, but there will be something to take away from our posts for everyone.  FISTA is a new idea, and being as such, there will be a lot of exploration and learning on our end, but we have high aspirations for our blog, including several posts a week, local food specialist exposes, economics of SNAP, business advice, social entrepreneurship, and much more.

We, Tim and I, conceived of the FISTA blog amidst a collision of strong interests in frugality and gastronomy, and the former is admittedly a necessity of AmeriCorps service.  Though, we do believe that this practice is not and should not be limited to those on a budget, for remaining cognizant of your finances and shopping to save are both contributors to a more sustainable and less wasteful society.  We want to provide a fun and interesting space for AmeriCorps members to access easy, creative, delicious and cheap recipes, communicating with the readership that we are just like you.  We are discovering the best practices day to day like you will.  More on our mission later, but for starters…
