The Beginning

So, I'm starting to read 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' by Barbara Kingsolver. It is the true story of the Kingsolver family's commitment to only eating local, seasonal foods for one year.

Feeling inspired and looking for something new to sink my teeth into, I have decided to explore my own world of local and seasonal foods. I'm not sure where the book or this blog will take me but I am thrilled to explore this new pursuit.

  1. I loved Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I am so glad you have decided to blog, and that you've chosen this subject. It amazes me to realize how little I ever thought about nutrition until my kids came along. I think about it a lot lately. The part of the book that I think of most often is when Kingsolver wonders why we balk to pay for food but not for outrageously expensive shoes. I remember he saying that we only need 3 things to live, and food is one of them, so we ought to stop bargain hunting and think about the value of what keeps us alive.
