The Organic Gardener’s Cookbook
Lately,
it seems as if more and more people are hopping off of the fast food
train and traveling to a new destination filled with organically
grown foods . Besides putting an end to muffin tops every time you
put on your once favorite pair of jeans, there are many benefits to
eating organic and even growing your own vegetable garden (unless
you’re like me then all of the plants seem to die after a few weeks
of flourishing). Some of these positive factors can include but are
of course not limited to:
- Avoiding GMO’s and improving your family’s health. This gives yourself and your kids the opportunity to get outside and do a little exercise. Once the hard work has paid off, it’s right there in front of you so you have no excuse to not eat it!
- Reduce your environmental impact-this one is a biggy! You don’t have to drive to the grocery store, the amount of fossil fuels that pollute the air from transporting the product will decrease, and you’ll spare mother nature’s ground from pesticides.
- Saving money on groceries and reducing food waste. You can also save the seeds from some fruits/vegetables to plant the following year.
It
can definitely be hard work but there are so many positive outcomes
that stem from growing your own organic produce. Now some of you may
be thinking: “How can I truly satisfy my
grown-caveman-meat-eating-husband and picky kids on an organic and
mostly vegetable diet?” *BLING*! That’s the lightbulb clicking
over your head because I have a solution for you: The
Organic Gardener’s Cookbook. It’s filled with over
100 pages of advice on how to grow your own vegetables, how to cook
said vegetables properly and even provides tons of delicious recipes.
To
celebrate our 6th anniversary, FolkHeart Press will be
giving away a copy of this book and our
