A Yummy Way to Eat Your Veggies
In honor of today – the last day of our annual CSA subscription, I thought I’d do a post on eating veggies.

Homemade Pickles
Do you know how crazy easy it is to make your own pickles?

Ham & Cheese Panini with Alpine Lace Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese
I love sandwiches. One of the hardest parts of being pregnant for me is not being able to eat a cold-cut sandwich. And sometimes you need a nice sandwich to really fuel your day, right?! Well, when you’re pregnant, they say you can microwave your cold-cuts and then make them into a sandwich…but let’s beContinue reading “Ham & Cheese Panini with Alpine Lace Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese”
Sweet Potato Noodles – Poodles?
For our next adventure in vegetable noodle-making (remember Zoodles from a couple weeks ago?) we decided to try out a sweet potato because sweet potatoes are so healthy, packed full of vitamins and very tasty.
