To Market, to Market

September 19, 2011 by Aliesha

Saturday we went to the local farmer’s market to pick up some fresh produce!  I was so excited about all of my purchases.

We got peaches, green onions, regular onions, sweet potatoes, a butternut squash, a dozen eggs, pumpernickel bread, and a HUGE cinnamon roll (Tad and I had already eaten half of it before I took this picture).

Oh, and I bought a sweet little purple pepper that didn’t make it into the first photo.

Look how pretty these eggs are!  They are quite large and delicious too. 🙂

Do you try to shop locally?  Or do you grow a lot of produce yourself?  Or are you like me on most weeks, buying from the grocery store?  I would like to buy more local produce than I often do.

Taking Meals to Others

August 18, 2011 by Aliesha

Today I am guest posting on Kristin’s Veranda!  I’m sharing about taking meals to others.  Here’s a snippet:

If you’ve ever had someone prepare food for you when you
were sick, you know what a blessing the “ministry of food” can be!  I
love being able to bless people in need with meals, whether they are (or
one of their family members is) sick, grieving, moving, or welcoming a
new baby.

I thought I’d share with you today some tips for successfully bringing meals to others!

-Ask them.

This
might seem kind of unnecessary, but it is important to talk with the
family first and find out if a meal would be a blessing.  Ninety-nine
percent of the time they’ll say yes, but this also gives you a chance to
find out if they have any food preferences (i.e., vegetarian),
intolerances, or allergies and what day/time they would appreciate the
meal.

To read the rest of my post (which includes lots of other great tips!), click over to Kristin’s Veranda, where she is hosting a blog warming party this week!

Collard Greens?

July 11, 2011 by Aliesha

Our very sweet neighbor who loves to garden just gave us a HUGE bag of collard greens (as well as some squash and cucumbers)!  We are very thankful for his generosity, but we’ve never made collards before!  We love trying new foods, and we’ll eat pretty much anything, but we were wondering if you have a favorite way of preparing collards.

Please share your recipes!  Thanks!
