Introducing...My Little Food Project!
Eating Locally...
I am so so SO excited to pick up my first Fresh Fork CSA bag later today! It didn't take much to convince my husband that we should sign up. He'll try anything I make, and do the dishes too. He did raise an eyebrow at the cost...you must pay up front for 15 weeks of food deliveries. It averages out to around $45 per delivery. Once a week for the first three weeks, then every other week until May. But, I told him, this will save money! And make us healthy! And more adventurous eaters! But....will it?
Thus starts my little food project. We will try our best to use everything in our bag each delivery, hopefully cutting down on grocery store visits...and costs. And improving our usually heavy-food laden winter diet.
I will write about what we get each week, what I make, and include any items that I need to buy from the grocery store to make said meals. I'll provide recipes (or links to people who write better food blogs with fancy pictures) for my favorites.
This won't be a comprehensive breakdown of what we all eat for every meal during the week. I will include meal info only if it comes from our CSA bag!
Also, we will not stop going out to eat. We've tried that before. I can tell you that it doesn't work for us. Two kids with school, homework, activities...there are nights where I AM JUST NOT GOING TO COOK!
Ok, with all that out of the way, I hope to discover new, healthy recipes and reduce our grocery store visits. And one of the best things about the Fresh Fork CSA is that everything is from local, Ohio farms - with rare exceptions. Even these exceptions are within Ohio or close by in Pennsylvania.
Coming soon...week 1!
