As someone who used to flit in and out of half a dozen workout establishments from yoga and spin studios to traditional and climbing gyms on a weekly basis, the advent of Covid-19 definitely threw a wrench in my routine. The silver lining is that it has guided me to get outside and explore my neighborhood more!

There is something so fun and gratifying about connecting with farmers, choosing produce to bring home that they picked the morning of your shopping trip, and heading home with a basket full of fresh food without all the plastic that can come from shopping at a traditional grocery store. (Though I do have some tips on how to reduce that traditional shop’s plastic!) I love seeing what the farmers bring to market ... Read More about Simple Garlic Scape Pesto
