Really quickly, I just wanted to post some photos from dinner tonight. I decided to cook the collard greens from my Boston Organics delivery last week. I prepared them according to how my mom always did–cut out the stem, then roll them like a cigar and cut them into smaller...
Enjoying the beautiful weather and heirloom tomatoes at Friday’s farmers market at Copley Square. I confess I didn’t have time to make my recipes this weekend. I was too busy galavanting around town. I legitimately went to three organic-themed markets in the last three days. Friday, I was out and...
Enjoying my new organic pears from Boston Organics. I felt like a mother rushing home from work yesterday to pick up my Boston Organics box. But my veggies had to be taken care of before my weekly Tuesday meeting. A girl’s got to have priorities… And it was like Christmas,...
A Boston Organics fruit and vegetable box. Photo source: BostonOrganics.com No matter how much I want to eat right, sometimes finding the time to purchase food from farmers’ markets (which tend to be far away) can prove inconvenient. Before I moved to Boston, my mom and I did a little...
The Northeastern market features a diverse and colorful collection. Photo source: NU farmers’ market Facebook page. Organic season in the Northeast typically runs June to October or November, when the farms are producing a surplus of product.

In June 2011, the Boston affiliate of CBS investigated the meaning of “organic.” In the short segment, they look into what the organic label actually means for produce and other goods, and how retailers might be scamming consumers. Watch the full video on their website....
The organic trend is on the up-and-up, and for good reason. Organic foods aren’t genetically modified; they lack pesticides and toxins, and are higher in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In addition to being healthy for one’s body, they also benefit the environment because fewer toxins are being released into the...
Sorry it’s been a while… there’s a lot that’s happened in the past several weeks. I concluded my time in San Diego, I flew home to Boston, I worked (a LOT), I moved into my new apartment… I also managed to shatter the screen on my laptop. And no, I...
I was on Skype last night with my (amazing) boyfriend while simultaneously sautéing mushrooms and drinking a glass of wine. Though I may have looked domestic and all, I’m hardly the type to claim I’m a stellar cook. I have my fall back dishes (enchiladas) and occasionally try a new...
