"It's a veggie..it's a veggie..."

Who would have thought?... No more meat for me... well, that's not because I don't like meat. Pig is a magical animal. Seriously. But, after many years of trying to figure out what makes the Crohn's Disease not be a raging beast, I believe I found the answer some months ago. Unfortunately, for me, that means no red meat, pork, or chicken. Which is somewhat okay, since I'm not a fan of birds, and I don't think anyone should live on red meat. But, the pig... what a sad day for me.
Okay, enough of my crying. Living in California, and even more so, Orange County, it is exceptionally easy to eat well as a vegetarian (or pescatarian, as I do also eat fish). I've also found that it is easier on my system to eat foods that don't have pestcides or chemicals attached, which is also fairly easy to acheive over here.
After thinking about it for a couple of months, I decided to join a Community Supported Agriculture share. I joined Fresh Farm to You and I received my first delivery today. It is fantastic! I started off with the smaller box, and we'll see how that works for us. It's nice to know that there is no way I would have been able to get all of these fruits and veggies at the grocery store for the exceptionally small amount that I payed, and everything is very fresh. Here is all of what showed up at my doorstep this morning:


A few weeks ago, the hippy bug hit me and I decided to plant a few things that I enjoy. I've got a crazy bunch of chives and a huge basil plant enjoying it's spot on my table outside. I also have a bean plant growing nicely. It's kinda cute (for a bean plant).


So, that's what I've been up to lately, in the food world. I'm excited to use all of my new weekly produce to create some delicious-ness and share it with all of you! P.S. Bacon still tastes good.
