Savoring life in the Berkshires
Being fully in summer mode means that the days between summer CSA pick ups sometimes fly by and though I knew I hadn’t posted a menu for last week, I couldn’t quite get around to doing it. So, today you’re getting 2 weeks of plans – last week’s and this week’s. It didn’t help that…
We spent last week in North Carolina and arrived back in the Berkshires on Monday. It was a wonderful time with my in-laws, including some great cousin time for my kids. We soaked in as much time as we could at Wrightsville Beach and it was a joy to finally make a trip there with…
This week has really felt like summer, finally. Following my last 2 weeks of busyness (including being in school until June 23), I’ve been leaning into summer activities. In the last 7 days I’ve been to the lake twice, taken my daughter out for ice cream, gotten a bunch of computer-related tasks done while taking…

As I mentioned in my 2022 theme word post, I’ve been feeling more organized and like myself recently. It’s very exciting to be posting my first menu plan since school started (oops!) and I’m looking forward to making some meals that are more varied and interesting than what we’ve been eating lately. During the week…
This time last year, I selected the word deliberate as my 2021 theme. Looking back, my thoughts about 2021 aren’t that different from what I want to do in 2022: “I won’t just happen to read more books, or cook new recipes, or have date nights, or not have to work weekends.” My thought a…
