Don’t be afraid to google for recipes or even basic preparation if you are stuck with something you’re not familiar cooking… some of my favorite meals were the “basic” way to cook a veggie rather than making a big deal out of every single item. Two words: roasted cauliflower. Mmmm… ALSO – try making huge batches of stuff and then freezing or canning if you find yourself with more than you can eat. I still have roasted butternut squash in my freezer from last October that’s perfect for a quick & easy soup.

My tip is… do it! I echo what Maggie said above, it’s a great way to try something you’d never get otherwise. It’s also a build-in way to eat fresh, healthy, and local, which can get expensive and inconvenient.

I can’t say enough about CSAs – they truly are one of the best ways folks can support their local farmers and directly participate in their local economies. Good luck, and ENJOY! My favorite part is receiving a vegetable you’d never normally buy and thinking, ‘what in the world do I do with this?’ Then it’s time to hit the cookbooks, and that’s when the fun begins!
