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 […]

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.
