When it comes to fruits and vegetables I can truly say that there aren’t really any that I would turn away. There might be some that I don’t eat or buy as often as others, but for the most part if it’s in the kitchen or refrigerator my family will gobble it up, as long […]
Our first CSA
June 7, 2011 · by · 10 Comments
So last year at about this time I got a recommendation from a friend for a local farm to contact because I expressed interest in trying a CSA. Now you’re either Googling CSA or you’ve made up something in your head as to what it stands for. Go ahead, have fun with that. OR maybe […]
Meatless Monday – Fried Brown Rice with Veggies and Tofu
February 21, 2011 · by · 16 Comments
I know what you’re thinking right now. It’s been like forever since I posted a Meatless Monday post and you’ve all been eating meat like crazy because I have failed you miserably as a leader. Or maybe, wow Cathy, you’re such a slacker and yeah, we’ve been doing just fine without your Meatless Monday posts […]
Meatless Monday – Baked Potatoes with Broccoli and Cheese
November 8, 2010 · by · 2 Comments
Since I pretty much cook meatless meals every day of the week they aren’t always the most intricate dishes. Sometimes it’s just about eating something healthy, simple, and seasonal.

October 13, 2010 · by · Leave a Comment
My sons’ school district has a wellness policy, a clearly written, well defined wellness policy. For the most part it is followed. For the most part. There are no soda machines that the students can purchase from (you read that correctly, none accessible to the students, but there might be soda machines where the teachers can make […]
Meatless Monday – Easy Pasta and Vegetable Salad
July 26, 2010 · by · 4 Comments
It feels like a while since I posted for Meatless Monday. The main reason is because I don’t like to share a recipe without a picture. When I look up recipes for myself, I like to see a picture, so I like to share one when I post a recipe. (I’m visual like that!) This one […]
A School’s Responsibility to Provide a Healthy Lunch Program
July 24, 2010 · by · Leave a Comment
I am on a committee to work toward a healthier lunch program in the school district my children attend. Some will say that feeding our kids healthy starts at home and is ultimately the responsibility of the parents. I fully agree with this, however, for the one meal a day that the school district provides […]
