I’d love to grown my own veggies. We even have a plot in our yard that is perfect for that. Too bad I have a black thumb.

I don’t have a CSA, but I do have a garden. It’s a bit more convenient: veggies are just steps away from the kitchen, and I control the selection up front by only growing things I know we’ll eat. But when there are 16 zucchini, 3 pounds of green beans, a dozen beets and 8 head of lettuce all ready at the same time, it’s a lot like having a box of produce dumped on me.

Washing and prepping at once is crucial. So is knowing how to whip up a veggie-heavy pasta salad, quiche, casserole and strata so you don’t have to run to the store for exotic ingredients just to get dinner on the table.

Oh, and make soup out of the leftovers at the end of the week!
