We are trying to maximize our use of the digital camera AND to eat lots of new healthy foods, and so this blog will probably take a food-related spin more often.<\/p>\n

We recently joined Full Circle Farm<\/a>‘s CSA, so we’re trying lots of new fruits and veggies.\u00c2\u00a0 The first couple weeks were a little rough and a couple things went to waste, but now we’re working on making a two-week\u00c2\u00a0 meal plan everytime we get a box (we get one small box bi-weekly), so that we can ideally eat more fruits as snacks (something we always say we’ll do, and then have a hard time following through) and use up the veggies that we’re not so used to cooking with.<\/p>\n

After a week in Portland for work (where I stayed at the super-fun Kennedy School<\/a> hotel), I was completely tired of eating out.\u00c2\u00a0 So we planned a homemade dinner for Saturday night! We spent the afternoon in Kirkland getting the car’s oil and filter changed, buying puppy toys<\/a>, building a futon, and grocery shopping!\u00c2\u00a0 We really over-estimated how long the futon would take to put together, so dinner was SUPER late.\u00c2\u00a0 We made a yummy basic roasted chicken, with super crispy yellow fingerling potatoes and simple steamed broccoli.\u00c2\u00a0 So delicious! Plus, I used the drippings from the chicken to make a tasty sauce which the potatoes soaked up nicely.\u00c2\u00a0 While we waited for the chicken to roast we had an apple and a pear for a snack and a green salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and organic croutons!\u00c2\u00a0 Our apple, pear, potatoes, broccoli, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes all came from the CSA! A few were from Full Circle Farm, a few were from other local NW farms, and the rest were from other organic farms farther away.\u00c2\u00a0 So yummy, fresh and healthy!<\/p>\n

\"Chicken,<\/p>\n

BONUS: I got to use my new digital oven probe thermometer<\/a> that Matt got me for Christmas from Williams-Sonoma! Spectacular, and so fancy!! AB would be proud.<\/p>\n
