Prior to joining Norwood CSA, hubby and I ate more than our fair share of daily recommended veggies. But now, that we’re members, we’re constantly saying, “we’ve never eaten soooo many veggies in our entire lives” (lol). It’s a good thing because we feel healthier and more energetic eating in season. And, we’re loving this farm-to-plate adventure.
From a newbie’s point of view, it does take work, forethought and creativity to plan different meals around our weekly veggie share. And, yes, it can be daunting as you juggle other daily responsibilities, but the payoff is invaluable. Who can put a price on good health?
I try to keep my recipes very simple and quick. And, over the last few months, I’ve discovered that in a pinch most of our weekly veggies can be either steamed, slightly sautéed or thrown into a soup or stew. Then, flavor the dish with your favorite spices and presto----you’re done!
Like our forefathers, eating in season is a powerful way to boost our immune systems and stay healthy as we all try to get through the pandemic together. I want to personally encourage as many people as possible to join our food co-op for next season!
