It’s the beginning of my 12th year (!) teaching and yet somehow, I’m still surprised how tired and behind and overwhelmed I am just three days in. Three days of remote meetings and planning/prep and I am so exhausted at 7 pm after putting the kids to bed that it’s unbelievable. It probably doesn’t help…

Fall Planning (CSA Menu Plan #123)
School starts Monday. And by “school”, I mean the 10 days of professional development that the state of Massachusetts has provided time for to start this year of remote/hybrid/socially distanced learning. Brian and I will both be teaching remotely, at least to start. Still, I know that I need to think seriously about routines, time…
Plans x 2 (CSA Menu Plan #122)
I just counted – I’m 12 days out from the start of the 2020 school year. That makes total sense, because I’m really into my recently established summer routine – a sure sign that it’s time for school to start and disrupt that routine. My school will be starting remotely, so hopefully I can hold…
Holding Pattern (CSA Menu Plan #121)
Things around here remain uneventful overall. My 3.5 year old is obsessed with the Frozen franchise and over just the last few weeks we’ve accumulated a Frozen dress up dress, a set of figurines and several Frozen story books. We listen to a lot of Frozen songs around here. When we’re not pretending to be…
But Look At Those Tomatoes (CSA Menu Plan #120)
Every week, I write about how much I love my CSA pick ups and every week I post a menu plan based around the items I get from Mighty Food Farm. Some weeks, including this one, I really struggle to write those plans though. I ordered what I knew would only be around for a…
Red and Green (CSA Menu Plan #119)
This is the sweet spot of the summer. I’m just far enough away from the last school year and the coming school year that I can almost ignore both of them. [Almost – staying off Facebook is also helpful in this regard!] The available produce is excellent – tomato season is my very favorite season….
Default Box (CSA Menu Plan #118)
A few weeks ago I wrote about how CSA pick ups are different this year. We’re placing orders online weekly for the produce we want, then picking up a pre-packed box at our pick up location in Williamstown. Overall, I like this system, but it was only a matter of time before I forgot to…
In the Swing (CSA Menu Plan #117)
Lately, I feel like I’m finally back to regularly enjoying my time in the kitchen. It’s been a while – first baby M arrived 6 weeks early, then we were in and out of the hospital, then I had the rest of my maternity leave followed by returning to work for 3 weeks. After the…
Same Old (CSA Menu Plan #116)
I’ve tried to write this introduction three times already, but I really don’t have anything to say! We’re in full summer mode here, which is largely dictated by my 3 year old. Most days we’re outside, playing in some water in some form (a pond, a pool, the sprinkler, the tub), making art and eating…
Sweet Summertime (CSA Menu Plan #115)
Despite the strange state of the world, we’re working on settling into summer around here. It is such a relief to be home and not trying to work constantly. My calendar is dramatically more clear and things are much less hectic. I don’t know what this fall will bring, but I plan to enjoy the…
Pick Up in the Time of Coronavirus (CSA Menu Plan #114)
I’m always thrilled when the CSA season resumes; that’s no secret. This year it’s so nice to have something to look forward to and a fridge full of fresh, local produce. This is extra true because I just realized I haven’t posted a CSA menu plan since October, around the time I went into the…
Falling for Fall (CSA Menu Plan #113)
Once again, I’ve been slacking in my menu planning. Even this past weekend, which included a Monday holiday, wasn’t enough for me to get my act together. I did take some excellent naps however. And we took advantage of the fantastic weather to finally go apple and pumpkin picking. Now, if I can just make…
