Happy New Year! I hope everyone is enjoying the last of the holiday season. After so eating so much food I’m really excited to get my CSA box home and fill my fridge with veggies. I’m working on meal prepping (for me and the baby, farm to high chair!), eating more greens and getting some vegetable juice down at least once a week. Getting a juicer is a GREAT investment for your health. And in the midst of the green vegetable season it couldn’t be a better time. Enjoy the box. Share your creations with us on Instagram. Tag #somethinggoodorganics to inspire others.
