Fresh Veggies

I have really loved getting our fresh veggies each week from the Weekly Market Bag from the Greener Grocer. It has definitely helped me eat more variety this season and try out foods that I would not necessarily have purchased on my own. The meals I make taste better because they contain fresh, colorful, local veggies. Our menu is definitely healthier, because I am always trying to find new ways to insert the veggies from our market bag. We eat out less often because we always have fresh food at home. My children's tastes are expanding because of their frequent exposure to new and interesting fruits and vegetables, and they are learning about supporting our local farmers and businesses.

Tonight, I'm modifying a recipe from Real Simple, using arugula & chevre from the market bag - it's a spaghetti pasta dish with sweet potatoes. I'm also making bruschetta with tomatoes & mint from the Greener Grocer (as well as basil from our own herb pots) and using a baguette from the Omega Artisan Bakery. Very excited about dinner tonight!

I also made an almond apple crisp with apples that my daughter and husband picked today on her first kindergarten field trip. It tasted delicious, but the apples weren't the right type for baking and they turned into "goo" as my middle daughter described. Oh well!
