For once in my life, I am honestly okay with that. Although I can't explain it, by eating local food, I am getting more joy out of meals...including my second chicken salad in a single week.
I do have a confession, however. I occasionally slip into the convenience groove. I will grab whatever is quickly available in the frig or pantry to snack on. It is always said that in order to correct a problem, you must first identify it. Consider the problem identified. My goal is to prep things ahead of time so I can reach for zucchini chips instead of the foil bag potato chips.
Moving on to the fun part! Last week's CSA was a fun variety that included a jar of tomatoes, zucchini, romaine lettuce, kale, gold potatoes, and asparagus.
The tomatoes are still relaxing in the pantry (I'm thinking salsa perhaps?). The kale turned into kale chips while the one zucchinI transformed into zucchini bread. A portion of the gold potatoes teamed up with the asparagus to become Sunday night's dinner sides.
I was quite proud of this dinner, even the roast was local and grass fed! Now the challenge is to keep bringing it close to home with all meals.
