Keeping Warm (CSA Menu Plan #48)

Published on January 18, 2016 By Emily. Updated on January 18, 2016

Despite the overall lack of snow this winter, it’s been looking a lot whiter in the Berkshires over the past few weeks. We’ve finally reached that point in the season where every few days it can be expected that another dusting of snow will fall and coat whatever remained of the last snowfall.  It’s a happy medium for me; I like the look of snow, but I hate driving in it.  Any snow that falls when I don’t have to leave the house or that doesn’t stick to the roads is exactly my kind of snow.  It’s hard for me to grasp that we’re already halfway through January; I’m pretty sure 2016 is going to fly by.

In other news, this was one of those weeks where it took me far longer to put together my meal plan than usual.  I’m already longing for the days when my plans only tackle one week at a time.  It’s hard for me, sometimes, to accurately predict how much of our produce we’ll go through in the first week or what else is going to to come up.  Once again, I remind myself that as much as I’d like to skip this process from time to time, I know I’ll be much happier over the course of the next two weeks knowing that there’s a plan for lunch and dinner in place.

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!
