When the holidays are too much to emotionally handle

November 6, 2019September 14, 2020 consciousandcontent

I find the holidays to be one of the most difficult times of year for me - I'm stressed, busy and often unable to really feel like I'm a participant in all the joy around me. I'm trying to be mindful of this and take better care of my health this year with that in mind.

CSA (community-supported agriculture) membership is an easy way to keep your budget dollars local. I buy groceries each week and I pay for my CSA share weekly, too. Those dollars can either go to a chain grocery store or they can go right back to local farmers who live in Northeast Wisconsin. I also love that SLO Farmers Co-Op lets you pay for your CSA share weekly, too - rather than all upfront. It becomes a regular part of my weekly budget and has become a part of my weekly grocery shopping and meal planning, too. You still have time to sign up for SLO Farmers Co-Op summer or fall shares and both only require a small deposit to lock in your spot.

The first year I joined a CSA (way back in 2013!) I had no clue what to do with all of the greens you receive in the early part of the growing season. Googling “how to use lots of dandelion greens” introduced me to saag! Saag is an Indian green curry that can be made with spinach, mustard, or dandelion greens. I’ve made it the traditional way on the stovetop, but prefer the quicker method in the Instant Pot on a weeknight. We prepare our favorite saag with spinach, shallot, fresh garlic and ginger and serve over cauliflower rice with chicken. It uses up a TON of greens... this recipe used 10 ounces of spinach for four servings. And it’s one of the most delicious way to eat your greens, in my opinion! #springveggies #eatlocal #spinach
Swipe ➡️ to see my favorite dish to make with a classic spring vegetable... sugar snap peas! This pasta alla gricia with slivered snap peas from @sunsetmag is a staple spring recipe in our house. I make it a bit more accessible by using prosciutto and salami instead of guanciale. If you want this to be a little lighter (but still delicious), you can halve the amount of butter. It’s a simple dish that comes together in minutes and it really lets the veg be the center of attention. #springveggies #sugarsnappeas
11 months and two weeks ago we lost my beautiful aunt years too soon to this horrible virus. I’m missing her extra hard today. The reality is that while our grief is personal, it isn’t isolated. She was one of the 550,000 Americans that we collectively lost this past year. I hate where we are, but I feel like things have to get better from here. This small step feels like hope. I love you always, Aunt Rosie ❤️
We’ve gotten the hang of chasing the ball and retrieving it, but not quite yet on return 😂❤️🐶 #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhound
Spring is finally here and I’m SO excited to share this news! I’m partnering with SLO Farmers Co-Op this growing season to help promote CSA membership (community-supported agriculture) and creative ways to use seasonal produce. You’ll see weekly posts from me here and on the co-op page. If you’re already a CSA member or become one, you’ll see my weekly feature in their email newsletter, too. #keepitslo #supportlocalfarms #knowyourfarmer #eatyourveggies #localfood #sponsored
