Veggie Jamboree!

Here in the northern hemisphere, ‘tis the season for farmers markets, roadside vegetable stands, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, and other produce-related delights! I invite anyone who can (respecting dietary restrictions due to chronic illness, of course) to join me in finding new and enjoying familiar ways to celebrate the season’s bounty. Let’s eat our veggies, because done right? It’s absolutely delicious. This challenge offers a chance to celebrate the season in a way that supports your physical health and is surprisingly fun!

Daily:

Eat a vegetable

To do:

Enjoy a silly song about vegetables from Sesame Street

Learn about the agricultural history of a vegetable sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, or any of your choice!

Make a recipe that centers a vegetable 

Post in the Living Vividly Guild about your favorite vegetable.

Reflection:

This challenge was pretty easy for me, and a whole lot of fun! I was enjoying a lot of great fresh produce from our CSA, and asparagus season was still on, and as we all know, I love to cook. Guild members shared a lot about their favorite veggies, and we did a little group brainstorming for one member who was having health-related digestive struggles, helping her craft the perfect veggie juice.
