Okay, more like my husband be a hippie. I know I talk a lot about how J is super into eating organic and healthy, but this week it’s been kicked into high gear. Well more like overdrive. We recently watched the movie Food Inc. (a surgery recovery present from mama Trapp), which discusses the corruptive practices in the food industry…and how virtually almost EVERYTHING we eat is either genetically modified by science, pumped full of hormones & antibiotics, or laden with pesticides & chemicals…or in most cases all of the above! So we’ve taken an interest in eating more locally grown produce in addition to attempting to purchase all organic. After quite a bit of research we’ve joined a local CSA (community supported agriculture) and signed up to receive weekly boxes of organic, fresh produce from a local farm. Sounds pretty sweet…I’ll let you know how it goes.
But that’s not all. I came home yesterday to find a bowl full of nuts soaking in water. J has now started making his own nut milk (made from literally milking the nuts through a nut bag…please tell me I’m not the only one who finds that humorous…hehe…). Anyway, so he made almond milk & it turned out to be quite the hit with Jayden.
As if those two things weren’t enough, I came home last night from shopping & discovered a compost bin in our side yard! Aaaaannnd, we bought the groupon of the day, which is a delivery service for Organic meats & cheeses. So there, I think the Trapp household has done our part this week to save the environment (and our bodies).
haha.... i love the nut milk! :) my friend has signed up for the box of produce--she says she can't even get through all of it, and she does a TON of things with it for her fam.... so she splits it with someone. (but then again, her hubby doesn't love veggies, so she and the kids have to eat most of those!) But it seems like SO fun, and you just kind of learn to use the produce that comes in it!! COOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat CSA did you sign up with?
ReplyDeleteWe joined JR Organics, http://www.jrorganicsfarm.com/
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will get us eating new & different fruits & veggies...we tend to stick with the same thing every week! I'm sure J will get creative with it!
I'm pretty sure Jayden could NOT be any cuter! and way to go saving the environment one box of produce at a time! Ina Garten says it dramatically increasing your cooking creativity! CHEERS to that!
