Our effort on being more green and eating healthier...

We decided this summer to join a local co-op, through Trillium Haven Farms. We pay a certain amount for a share of all organic, fresh foods (you can even knock the price down if you go and pick it yourself), and then enjoy the huge amount of fruits and vegetables grown locally on their farm.

It's one challenge for us of being more green, given that we don't have space for a garden, and it's also a bigger challenge for me to be more creative in cooking meals.  I have to be much more creative with the amount of vegetables I have, but I look forward to exploring the possibility.

My mother-in-law also got me their great organic cookbook, "Simply In Season," which walks through which vegetables are in season when, how to take care of and store them, and corresponding recipes.  Lots of great info in it, and now that I have some time, can sit down and look some more at it.

This time will be a challenge for us, but I hope to be more healthy because of it.
