first week of January planning

Let's think about December 31, 2009 to January 9, 2010. Basically from the last day of 2009 to the first Saturday. What will this week be about when it comes to healthy eating?

First I have signed up for every other week deliveries of local produce: at least as a setting point for eating from local farmers. The organization is called Organics to You. Yesterday I got my first delivery and here is what I've got:

• apples
• cara cara oranges
• fairchild tangerines
• pears
• leeks
• broccoli
• avocado
• lettuce
• beets
• carrots
• mushrooms
• potatoes
• turnips
• spinach

From this starting point I will start pulling together recipes. I will also use Locavore to make educated plans about what is available for my purchasing.

Of course all this learning encourages me to start thinking about things like what are the flour and sugar alternatives available for baking, etc. So I'm sure some other adventures will be occurring here as well.

Chat soon, with actual recipes and ideas:
