12 tips for eating more veggies

When I wrote my recent post about eating more fruit, Simon asked me if I had any tips for eating more veggies, too. He specified that he’s not a big fan of cooking on a daily basis due to the time, effort, and clean-up involved (and the fact that he’s usually cooking for one), so […]

Farm stand veggies rock

Last week we were driving down a country road in Georgia (in the southeastern US) and came across a roadside farm stand. On a whim we decided to stop and see what we could find.
I’m so glad we did. The variety of fruit and vegetables on offer was impressive, and the quality was much higher […]
