From Maureen:
Welcome to Friendly Philly Food. We are two young women who have been friends since first grade! While we no longer live in the same city, we still talk every day – mostly about FOOD! We’ve had our ups and downs both together and apart (as sixth graders demanding the school cafeteria start a salad bar, to a disastrous Atkins experience in college). Deciding to start a food blog to keep each other updated on our yummy recipes, weight-loss tips, and the FUN in our lives was a no-brainer. We are happy to share it with you!
From Jeannie:
While Maureen’s intro was great, I decided people might want a visual of these girls who have been friends since first grade. So visuals you shall get! I went through my old photo albums last night to find some pictures. I won’t lie, I had a hard time finding ones that didn’t make me cringe. But alas, I can’t change who I was, what I looked like, or the glasses I chose to wear. Though I sure’s heck wish I could!

My 12th Birthday. I am laying down (there are those glasses!) and Maureen is second from the right.
Side ponytails are so very hip! From left to right: Me, Maureen and an innocent bystander
All grown up – at a college reunion of sorts around 2005
Quizzo night! We love bar food… and bar food is everything but friendly
And now that you have seen some of the worst pictures of us, I hope you feel as if you know us a little better! (And I hope Maureen is still speaking to me after seeing that I posted these!)
So now we can dive right into the food related posts!
