It's Been So Long

Ok...so no recipe with this post. My little one joined the family 18 months ago and I have not had a moment since! I also started nursing school! Yes, that's right. Four kids, full-time school, and a broken dryer. I just added the broken dryer in there to complain, but it's true. It's broken. We now have four clothes lines until unnamed husband has time to fix it. So, all that being said, we are now on a crazy budget since I am no longer working. This has inspired me to make all kinds of new things. Muffins and breads instead of cereals, homemade english muffins, and many, many vegetarian meals. I can't wait to post all of them. I hope you are as excited as I am. A new addition to our lives, is the harvest box. A local farm (Langwater Farm) puts together a box of organic vegetables for $20 each week. You can choose each week whether or not you want to pick one up. It is such a god-send! This week's box has zucchini and summer squash, a huge eggplant, six cucumbers, a walla walla onion, a bunch of basil, and some cherry tomatoes....all organic. We easily get at least four meals out of the box for our family of six...sometimes more. So my new mission of frugal, healthy, organic eating has been a little bit of trial and error, but mostly we've been pleased with the results. Recipes to come and a long overdue welcome to baby V!!
