This week I received- sage, bok choy, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, and snap peas. Trying to come up with meal ideas last minute is petty hard! But I look ahead over the weekend to see what’s on sale at the food stores, then wait to see what comes in the CSA and plan my meals Monday night instead of Sunday.

It’s charm and coastal vibes will leave you no choice but to fall in love with it! Being born and raised and still currently living in Connecticut, I know a thing or two about good restaurants….

No-bake, healthy peanut butter and honey Cheerio bars is an easy breakfast or snack idea for kids and adults. Add in dried fruit, coconut, or mini chocolate chips for a fun treat! We are just finishing the 3rd week of quarantine due to COVID-19. With no end in sight, I’ve been looking for more ideas…

I feel like I’m getting in the groove with these meals. It does take a little more time to plan, but it’s well worth it. At the start of the week, we were still away, but I packed snacks and almond milk, so we were still able to somewhat stay the course. Sunday– away Monday…
