Garden to plate

Eating/buying locally is a goal of mine but it is hard to find quality, inexpensive produce around here. There are some amazing farmers' markets but they all seem to be on Saturdays (when I work). Since most food travels over 1500 miles from farm to plate (yikes!), I am SO happy that we are starting to be able to reap from our garden!
Chet and I loved the yummy salad we made with our super fresh lettuce.
And the girls got to taste our first cherry tomato and snap peas.
(They already ate the red ones when I snapped this picture).

Wow!! Look at how much it has grown. It is obviously loving the AZ spring weather. Have you tried chocolate milk on it yet?
