Our CSA Share – Week 5

I spoke too soon. After last week’s declaration that summer weather was finally here, we had an unseasonably rainy July week. The greens in my garden loved it. My lawn loved it. My tomatoes? Not so much. No more talking about the weather. In spite of the rain, we got a great CSA share from the Pigmans this week. I was excited to see some new flavors – raspberries, cabbage, carrots and sweet onion. Stir fry is one of my husband’s favorite meals (and mine – so easy to make!). It’s nice to see some of our usual stir fry ingredients finally turning up. I’m missing the asparagus this week though.

How To Eat Organic On A Budget – Buy In Bulk

One of the first complaints you hear from people when it comes to eating organic food (or sustainable food, or local food) is that eating organic is too expensive.

I’m going to use the word “organic” for this post, but know that these tips also apply to sustainable and local food. Personally, I often forego a certified organic label in favor of supporting a small local farmer who utilizes sustainable farming practices.

7 Days of Conscious Living

During my not so brief hiatus from blogging, one of the things I was working on was this little mini e-course (am I the only one who hates the word “e-course?”) called 7 Days of Conscious Living. I worked on it and worked on it and finally got it to the point where I was ready to release it into the world. About two months ago, I snuck it onto my website all sneaky-like. And I didn’t tell anyone about it. Because, you know, that’s what you do when you’re dealing with resistance and fear.
