The Big Idea!!! (aka - how much free time do I think I have?)

So a few months ago day, I had an idea. This is a BIG idea too - the time consuming kind…

Why not join a CSA!?! For the unaware, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it creates a way for a city girl like myself to know where her food is grown...like, you get to actually interact with the people who grow your food!

I try to be healthy, workout, and eat right. I don’t always succeed. So this summer I have joined a local farm and for (at least) 22 weeks, I have a happy, fresh box of produce to pick up at the Farmer’s Market every Saturday.

I am going to use this blog here to document my trials and my failures as I try, desperately, to eat all of the greenery my Farm will shove into my waiting arms.

Part of the fun is dealing with veggies I have barely even heard of before (seriously - kohlrabi?) and trying to turn them into yummy meals. The other challenge will be making sure I waste as little produce as possible.

Here we go!

I am just getting this blog going (I spent too much time playing around with formats), so the first several posts will catching up on all of the wonderful things I have received, cooked, and eaten during the last 2 months.

Until then - Feed Me!!!
