The first week of school lunches

Time to pack school lunches! Is this the worst task of parenthood ever?? I have a love/hate relationship with grocery shopping, but making and packing lunches is something I actually really really enjoy 🙂 Perhaps that puts me in the minority, but it’s the truth. That being said, if you are in the opposite camp – and are burned out by the very idea of filling bento boxes before September has even hit – then mayyyybe I can help you out a little bit? A girl can dream right? I’m not expecting you to adore… Read more >

When you have a CSA in the summer

Every week I get more produce, so I have to use it up or I will fall behind. That said, it’s not too hard because I’m storing things up for all year long… I tried my hand at canning for the FIRST TIME EVER with tomatoes.

Kale and wheat berry salad

It’s time for a summer version of the DIY grain bowl! I posted my spring adaptation here. That version had brown rice, which is a great GF option, but lately I’ve been in the mood for wheat berries instead. And as long as I have access to these freshly shucked grains, I am keeping this salad on repeat. My body doesn’t seem to have any issues with wheat berries and I absolutely LOVE the chewy plump texture of the grains. Which is why I am so happy that our student farm CSA has been giving… Read more >
