Have you ever been stuck inside cooking for your family when you'd rather be outside enjoying the weather, gardening, or playing with your kids or grandkids?
That's happened to me and here's an important part of how I tackle and overcome it without sacrificing serving good food.
I serve home cooked food exclusively at our house, heavy on the veggies, of course!
Yet, I spend very little time in the kitchen, relatively.
I don't run to the store all the time. (We've all got better things to do, right?!)
One of the most used veggies at our house is a humble one.
It is borne out of the earth with dirt clumped on it's roots and smeared on it's skin. It's pungent, even smelly at times, and not really one you eat straight out of the garden.
But none the less, it's just about the most used vegetable at our house!
It’s warm August and you’re spending time in the lake, in the kayak, and outside picking berries… Winter is the furthest thing from your mind.
Everywhere you go, people are talking about the humidity--and this year, the rain. You join in, but you have a nagging feeling in the back of your mind reminding you that soon things will change. Soon enough we’ll all be complaining about the cold and snow.
