While I decided a few weeks back to check in regularly, I found myself absorbed in a technical issue unrelated to posting but overwhelming to say the least. Now that I have resolved the issue that took over my time and brain power, I’m back! Yay, you say, I heard you ;)

Ah, so here I am! Time might have gotten away from me, or was taken like a thief in the night, but my intentions of eating less bread and cheese didn’t fully get away from me. I didn’t fall off the horse, I just slid sideways a little.

Back to eating well and finding happiness with less bread. I still love and crave the soft on the inside, crusty-crisp on the outside loaves of happiness but what I truly miss the most right now is locally grown produce! I long for the deep, fresh colors and fragrance of garden veggies. Though I have been eating plenty of vegetables all winter, nothing compares to local, ripe, freshly picked produce.

That said, there is still snow on the ground around my area; we value every bit of sunshine and warmth and we welcome it with wide open arms; we’re cheering for you spring and summer, you can do it! And as I write, I think about my 125 garlic bulbs I planted last fall and pray that they are doing well and I cannot wait to see their greens emerge from their winter straw beds.

In anticipation for trips to the garden and the farm for fresh produce, tonight I’ve decided to clean out the refrigerator of all its veggies and make a healthy stir fry for dinner. I absolutely love one bowl meals, they seem to fill me with nutrition and peaceful happiness.

What’s on your plate tonight?
