I still need to get my cooking day scheduled with Cortney so that we can get some food in the freezer, but I am really enjoying all the fresh veggies from the Happy Box and working those into our cooking.
Here is what we have planned for this week. . .

I have had the privilege of working for two Extension programs in two different states: Ohio and Georgia. One of the things that I am all too aware of is that many people have no idea that there is a local Extension office near them and that they have lots of resources for you, your family, and your kitchen. Today, Jamie tells us about their services and how you can benefit from getting to know your local Extension office better.
