Full of Fall Bounty

Full of Fall Bounty

Above are the fruits of fall: apples, plums, pluots, and nectarines.

To the left is this morning's garden harvest: one large pumpkin, two heirloom tomatoes, 3 yellow squash, lots of little red tomatoes, and 21 large green tomatoes (not pictured) that need some window ripening.

And to the right is the today's CSA box: carrots, sweet corn, broccoli, romano beans red scallions, tomatillos, salad mix, green chard, basil, oregano, lacinato kale, fuji apples, nectarines, pluots, and red flame grapes. Boy are we ever going to eat our fruit and veggies!

Today for we had organic oatmeal with plums(friend's tree), hazelnuts (market), and honey (market) for breakfast, and for lunch, we had homemade veggie pizza with spinach (CSA), basil (windowsill), heirloom tomatoes (garden), squash (garden), red onion (market), and cheese (market). And for dinner, we whipped up a wonderful chili colorado stew in the slow cooker with pasture fed beef (market), purple potatoes (market), onion (market), garlic (market), lots of spices (pantry), and chili peppers (Yakima market). We served it up with fresh tortillas, cherry tomatoes (garden), corn on the cob (CSA, and melon slices (market). I think we're really getting the hang of this local eating! (market = our local farmer's market, not the supermarket)

Today, Ari was off to college again for her long day of classes. Alex took his online assessment tests, and Anni went to appointments with her OT and speech therapist. I finally made it into the gym tonight - yippee! I can almost fully rotate my shoulder. The PT must be working!
