BACK TO SCHOOL, BACK TO ROUTINE!
08/18/17 — Heydon Hatcher
We’ve endured scorching temperatures and arrive in mid-August drenched in sweat with gargantuan smiles on our faces because the prospect of Fall and cooler temperatures warrants nothing but good feelings. Something about these late summer days has us relishing in brief daydreams of winter greens, cold weather stews, and loads of family quality time (the succession of end of year holidays is impending). The nostalgia of summertime swimming will arrive soon enough, but right now we’re looking forward to regular schedule that school provides.

Back to school and we are back to our more regimented fall agendas. For a lot of us, that means more home-cooked meals. Even if you don't have children, we know your body is craving the wholesome and nourishing flavors of autumn. Super greens and hearty soups will soon be a welcome replacement to the summertime habits of late night pizza and one-too-many trips to the ice cream shop (just to cool down, we get it!). Even though Texas summers are long, change is in the air... and if you've ever thought about joining the CSA, now is the prime time. By becoming a CSA member, you have no choice but to augment your existing diet with fresh, organic produce, all week long.

Plus, home-cooked meals are immensely healthy for your family inside and out. Why don't you start a new tradition this fall? How about integrating the whole family into preparing meals? Cooking with kiddos gets them interested in the ingredients, has them taking on difficult and novel tasks, and they are more likely to taste the final product in the end! Cooking with your family is also a catalyst to start a conversation about health. If you get your children in the kitchen understanding why you use certain ingredients, you can also chat about the benefits of said ingredients as well. Additionally, kids need two main things to successfully adjust to a regular school schedule: good rest and good nutritious food!

If you are cooking as a family, quality time with your loved ones is inevitable for better or for worse! Back to school usually also means back to dance, soccer, music lessons, etc, meaning life can get busier quickly, making time to gather around a family meal and connect with your loved ones all the more important.

Getting back into the swing of the school year can be hectic, but with a little help from your friends at JBG, you can relax a bit! We like to think of our CSA program as a tool that ameliorates your meal planning, and simplifies life during the work week. We make planning meals easy as pie. Each week, we'll give you a list of the veggies (plus beautiful images from our staff photographer, Scott David Gordon) that you will receive. These veggies are an easy source of inspiration to plan any meal, can be incorporated to family-favorites, or can inspire new culinary adventures. Got picky eaters or food allergies? Did you know you can customize your box? If you're a member, all you need to do is login to your account the weekend before your upcoming delivery, click on "My Deliveries," and you'll see your options to swap out veggies you are less keen on for ones you prefer.

Meal prep and meal planning is essential to being able to sustain a cooking regimen. There are plenty of nutritious, seasonal, 30 minute meals that will feed a hungry crowd. Want to cook more? Or, want to cook healthier, whole meals for your family? The CSA is a great way to delve into this practice. Not the inspired chef? No worries. Each week on our blog we publish recipes catered to that week's offerings. Did we mention we deliver? That's right, we drop off veggies straight to your home or neighborhood. Skip the grocery store, and go straight to the source for your fall menus. If you join now, you can enjoy the joys of dwindling summer crops + emerging fall favorites... think: brassicas galore!
Check out our photo post for an update of the extensive menu of crops currently being planted. 'Til next time!
