I'm grateful to be able to eat highly nutritious, organic food,
bought at our coop & especially bought from nearby farmers.
.
Yesterday I baked butternut squash for the 1st time
in a long time. I was blown away by the vibrant taste
and juicy texture,
all the better knowing that I was absorbing
so many vitamins & nutrients.
I buy fresh rosemary, just for the scent!
Once it's dry enough, I put it in an air tight container.
Now I'm wondering how to use it in my cooking...
Microgreens & pea shoots are divine!
Local apples are still available & delicious!
This was my first vegetarian meal this week
after picking up the farm produce.
I got some vegetarian cookbooks from the library recently
& am enjoying exploring some new meal ideas...
(I am not a gourmet cook, haha!)
Why am I attracted to vegetarian cuisine?
I just read The Omnivore's Dilemma. It influenced me
in the way that Diet for a Small Planet did years ago.
