The Kitchen Help has arrived. No more planning meals, creating shopping lists, running to the market or cleaning up dirty dishes. It’s what we’ve dreamed of… and if you're not fabulously wealthy, it is not really going to happen. Like most many some families in the US, we eat on a budget and we try to eat good food that is healthy. Organic for the dirty dozen (celery, carrots, lettuce, kale, peaches, pears, apples, nectarines, strawberries, imported grapes, cherries and bell peppers). Fresh from our CSA delivery (Virginia Green Grocer) and farmer's market weekly. So what you find in this (yet another food blog) is the meal planning, what we eat and how we make it. Most assuredly there will dishes and a kitchen to clean. (Though I probably won’t post pictures of the uncleaned dishes and kitchen.) Just remember this, The kitchen is the best place at many parties and the dinner table is a great meeting place every night of the week.
