February 8 - 15, 2013

Well, we're back.  We had a break from the CSA box back over the holidays and when it started up again, we were just busy and didn't actually plan our meals, but grabbed from the box and made stuff.  On some level, that's nice too, but I honestly think we eat better and have less waste when I plan it out, so here we go again!  We also started getting a monthly meat share with all organic meat, so this might help me plan out how we use that as well.
