Savoring life in the Berkshires
Getting back on the menu planning train last week was definitely the help I needed. The more I think about decision fatigue, the more actively I want to avoid deciding anything. I’ve felt much less frustrated in the evening and much more interested in making dinner now that there’s a plan. There’s not much else…
Earlier this month, I shared my 2019 words of the year: rest and community. This year, to help me better live these words, I want to get some education and perspectives around both of them. I’m sure I won’t get to every book on the lists below (I have read all the articles!), but I’m…
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Eisenhower Matrix over the past few weeks, as I continually seem unable to get to any of the things I want to get to. I have really good intentions – to clean my house, to write blog posts, to develop recipes, to work on projects – but I…

It’s a snowy, cold, gross day in the Berkshires, but it’s just the kind of weather I needed to get me to sit still for a minute and post this menu plan. We’re officially between CSA seasons – the regular season share ended last week and our winter pick ups don’t start until next week. …
One of the things I like best about our CSA, Mighty Food Farm, is that it’s a free-choice CSA. Even though we never go to the farm to pick up our produce anymore (the farm moved from Pownal to Shaftsbury, Vermont a couple years ago and we just haven’t made the time to visit the…
