Vegetarian

  

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.
