Hopeful Thoughts


We all scream for ... produce???

I’ve just joined a local co-op for organic produce. Yesterday I made my first pick up and I am so excited!

I’m sure you’re wondering what it is about mere fruits and vegetables that has me so thrilled.

That, my friends, is a bin full of fresh possibilities!! Underneath the heads of lettuce, oranges, eggplant, and much more lie new flavors to explore, motivation to eat healthier, a reason to cook at home (thus saving money), and even reasons to spend more time with friends.

So far I haven’t used this week’s items for any clever new recipes. I’m going to attempt eggplant parmesan tonight, but that’s nothing out of the ordinary for most people. Many of the veggies have made their way into simple salads and the fruit has just been consumed as is. (But boy was it yummy!)
