I used to want to be anorexic. Then I found your blog. It showed me that there is beauty in food and it's ok to be a bit chubby. I don't want to be anorexic anymore. Thank you. :)

Anorexia is a disease, you should never desire to suffer from a disease. I don’t like using weight labels because it only causes division between different body shapes/sizes. In the end we are all just people. I hope you will continue to accept yourself just as you are. I’m grateful that this blog has been helpful to you <3

Do you cook? If you do, would you make videos?

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:17:30 -0400

I do, but I don’t know if I’m that good of a cook to give instructions? lol

I would not worry about all of these people anonymously giving you shit about the title of your blog. Your blog is easily the best food picture blog I've come across. There will always be people who have to just make some big fit about something. They just want you to feel bad about being pretty because they feel bad about themselves. ;P

Thank you for thinking I’m the best, that’s humbling <3

I have to say, I'm kinda surprised that the title of your blog seems to be something that some people are taking issue with. I myself am someone who certainly wouldn't be considered pretty in a conventional way, but I never took the message behind your blog title to be 'This is only food for girls who are conventionally attractive' but instead, if anything- 'eat and feel like/be a pretty girl'. :)

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:21:51 -0400

You would be considered beautiful in all ways! <3

I just wanted to say that personally I think people giving you all the amount of hate you get is ridiculous. I like the beliefs you aim to push about fighting against eating disorders and the belief that all women are beautiful. To be honest I don't really understand a lot of it, because it's not like you're posting nothing but pictures of salads and 'healthy' food 24/7? You post a good mixture of both 'unhealthy' and 'healthy' food, and I personally think your blog is great. (:

Thank you sweetheart. I appreciate this so much. I don’t mind responding to constructive criticism and believe me the love I get farrrrrr outweighs any pure hater comments I receive. So I focus on that! <3

heey :) i adore your blog!! its soo fantastic to see other girls are thinking like me about food:D & i also enjoy your gorgeous recipes! u are amazing! ♥

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:11:20 -0400

The beauty that is your icon…. I can’t deal right now. Thank you so much! <3

I totally understand what you mean when you explain that all girls are beautiful. I just think that some people get confused because you use the word "too". Like they get it like "ugly girls eat, but pretty girls eat too"... maybe you could avoid the confusion by changing that.. I don't know is just an advice.. I loooove your blog btw, I see it every day, please post more things with melted cheese!

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:04:36 -0400

Thank you, I appreciate this. And yes I know the “too” is what throws certain people off but it’s meant sarcastically. I and of course I’ll be sure to keep the cheesy goodness coming! Here’s the cheesy tag :)

I just started a food tumblr: communaltableblog(.)tumblr(.)com and would be so happy if you could maybe check it out?

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 16:58:31 -0400

Of course, followed as well! Welcome to the tumblr-food community :)

never noticed it but that anon is right. basically saying only ugly girls eat.

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:56:13 -0400

Not at all, that’s what you deducted. Just because I use the term pretty does not mean I’m calling someone else ugly. If you actually understood the concept of this blog you’d know that I don’t believe in “ugly” girls. There’s beauty in everything. I let my followers know that every day. There’s nobody/nothing on this earth that has the right to make someone feel ugly. Ugliness can only come from what’s inside of you & what you choose to spread through the world.

My blog is saying that a girl is not ugly because she likes to eat. My blog is telling girls they don’t need to starve themselves to maintain a certain type of physical appearance. My blog is saying that you can walk up to that buffet and get seconds if you want & still be beautiful.

Keep being lovely and spreading positivity through your tumblr! I love to see your responses to body negative anons, you are an inspiration :-))

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:55:41 -0400

LOL! Thank you darling I love your tumblr, I must remember to follow it from my personal account <3

I really enjoy your blog and admire the philosophy behind it so much. You are doing a wonderful job here. Please keep up the great work! xoxo

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:57:10 -0400

Awwww thank you so much! I was just sitting here debating if I should do a giveaway today b/c my followers are so awesome, this message just made up my mind. I feel blessed to have people like you who take time out to send me such sweet things & support my blog! <3

Is it only you or are there other admins?

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:48:03 -0400

There’s only me! :)

recipe for the sandwich w/ the strawberries that you reblogged, please?

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:35:12 -0400

Don’t have one that went along with the photo but to me it looks like slices of avocado & strawberries between some whole-wheat/whole-grain bread or toast :)

My father has diabetes and his birthday is coming up. Would you happen to have any recipes that are safe for diabetics?

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 14:01:02 -0400

I actually lived with a diabetic family member for a number of years and definitely learned a lot when it comes to their diet. I have no idea why I haven’t added any diabetic-friendly recipes but I will get on that right away! Hope your dad has a great birthday! <3

Have the owners of this blog ever thought about making a youtube channel showing some recipes to us? I think that would be amazing! Plus I really need more cooking channels to watch!

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:57:35 -0400

It’s just one of us lol and no I haven’t, not sure if I’m that good of a cook to do that? lol

you should put your pictures you post of food on instagram onto your tumblr , i would reblog the heck out of those delicious pictures ,

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 02:32:54 -0400

For instagram food go to www.prettygirlfoodig.tumblr.com! :)

hi there, i found one of my recipes and photographs posted on your site and I was never asked for permission to reblog this. All my work is copyrighted and I would appreciate it if you would remove my post and recipe. Next time, please ask for permission - I usually do say yes if I'm asked and credited properly. It's the Nutella Thumbprint Cookies. Thanks, Melissa Hartfiel, Eyes Bigger Than My Stomach.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:13:19 -0400

My apologies, I failed to see your permission policy. The title & source both were linked back to your original post though as far as credit is concerned but I understand completely. Per your request I have removed your content from my main blog and my recipes blog as well. And again, my apologies.

Since this is Pretty Girl Food an not Food for Pretty Girls, how do you feel about submissions of actual girls with food? I think it could be real cool for you to take submissions of real girls eating food and enjoying it.

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 20:35:02 -0400

I would love that! I’ve posted a few in the past but would love to have some more! You can submit here.

If there was one, id want you to be my date to a pizza and burrito/taco buffet. I know we wouldn't last long but still, I choose you lol.

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:41:21 -0400

I’d love to be your date to a pizza & burrito buffet. We’d shut that place DOWN <3

I was wondering, do you know a good recipe for french toast? And I just wanted to tell you what a blessing you and your blogs are to me! Keep going! You are fabulous and I love you! <3 and food,too ;)

Thu, 30 May 2013 20:07:41 -0400

Aww thank you so much! Here are the french toast recipes! Hope you find one you like! :)
