Introducing....

Greetings and Welcome to our kitchen experiment! We are interested in sources, recipes and tips for eating healthy, eating locally, eating organic (either certified or organic practices)... and we need to do it on a tight budget.

My philosophy is that if I've only got $10 I would rather that whole $10 go to a small farmer. Then what little I have will support small and family farms, the local economy, decreasing shipping, kinder practices for the environment, and a healthier community.

There are just a few challenges:

• I need to feed four of us on $100 each week (~$1.20 per person per meal)
• We live in New England (short growing season)
• We have limited storage outside of our fridge (we live in the city)
• Oh, and we like good food

So, this blog is my attempt to share and (with a little luck) solicit ideas for how to make this all happen. Maybe we can inspire each other (as I just burned dinner...) by sharing what we've found to work!
