A few years ago, my husband came home from work and told me some asking him about the CSA farm share we belong to. I was surprised, to say the least, as my carnivorous husband was discussing vegetables. This was the person that once suggested I may be “killing him with kale.” Someone went as...Read More »
Our decision to join a CSA this year was mostly spontaneous after hearing tales from friends of plump organic tomatoes and sugar sweet strawberries. We were due with a baby in early April and a summer spent at home, enjoying healthy, farm fresh vegetables with our growing family sounded perfect! It was a creative and transformative adventure that we plan on taking again next year. Honey Brook Organic Farm Heads of lettuce trump their boxed counterpart!

One thing that I'm really trying harder to do this year is meal planning. It's something I've preached much (in my life as a counseling dietitian) but practiced little, mostly because I really enjoy spontaneity in the kitchen. And for years I've been blessed with well-stocked grocery stores so close to my kitchen that I could practically reach their shelves without leaving my stove. Not to mention ample free time. That helps. However, as life has gotten busier, balancing baby and work and blog and baby and exercise and friends and hubby and baby and baby and baby (you parents of infants know how it is) our weekday meals have taken a bit of a nosedive. Suddenly the grocery store that is so close is still not quite convenient enough to pull something healthy and delicious together when at 6 pm everyone's tummy is rumbling, baby is having a sleepy meltdown and the kitchen is still a mess from LAST night's dinner plus the present day's earlier meals. Phew. So I've been committing to post-it flagging/pinning delicious recipes as I find them, and using my meal planner app to plan four or five breakfast, lunches, dinners each week.
