Ok, so it's no secret that I haven't posted in a LONGGGGG time. This does not mean that we have not been eating! :) We don't really eat out that much (schedules don't allow it) and, more than ever, we feel it is important to have a FAMILY dinner. Our kids help the Chef and I prepare meals by pouring things into bowls, mixing, and serving as commentators/critics. It's important to establish this important tradition early on. We've also made it even more of a point to know what is in the food we are eating. We hardly eat any processed foods and have upped the veggie intake by a great deal (and I'm 9 lbs lighter to prove it!)
This past summer, we joined a local CSA. It was exciting to go pick up our share each week and see what we received! We also planted an organic garden with 10 varieties of vegetables and 2 varieties of herbs. Our kids loved helping in the garden and the fresh produce was gobbled up quickly! It was exciting for the kids (ok... and us too!) to see our harvest! Needless to say, the fresh produce we harvested and received each week is greatly missed- especially the fresh garlic! We can't wait for next year and plan to increase the size of our garden.
I literally have about a year's worth of pictures that I took with the intention of blogging about them so stay tuned!
Your meals always look so scrumptious! Especially for a woman who is not at all a good cook! =)
