Fall-Back

September 2, 2010

In the colder months, a big pan of these vegetables is one of my fall-back meals. Despite the fact that our kitchen was already boiling due to this heat wave, I decided to heat it up even more last night by making a batch. I had a ton of veggies from the Savvy Garden and the most recent Farmer’s Market trip to use up, after all. And perhaps this was my way of willing the cooler fall temps we experienced last week to return?

If so, I may have been successful, because the predicted high for all of next week is in the high 60s to low 70s. Hooray!

Guest Post: Becoming a Vegetarian

March 9, 2010

Don’t forget to take advantage of the Open Sky coupon, good through Friday! As you may know, I eat a mostly-vegetarian diet. Personally, this is partially due to the ethics of eating meat, and largely due to the fact that my body functions better when I eat less meat. I realize that eating a vegetarian [...]
