On Wednesday night, our first CSA boxes from Circle M Market Farm arrived! The anticipation was killing us; we were like kids on Christmas morning opening up our box! This year, along with your boxes of delicious fresh produce, we have a challenge for you: to use everything in your box. We know it can be hard to use something you’ve never heard of before (like lovage) or something you didn’t even know was edible (like nettles), and that is why we are here. Nutritionists to the rescue! We will be blogging about every box to help you identify what you’ve got, give you some great usage and storage information and pass along tons of yummy recipes, as well entertain you with a video of us getting excited about vegetables. For those of you who get a CSA box from a different farm or don’t get a CSA at all this blog and video still has useful information for you! Maybe your CSA sent you some of these items or maybe you saw some of these things at the farmer’s market; challenge yourself to try something you’ve never heard of or something you think you don’t like — you might be surprised.

- Lauranne Before the Optimal Body Balance Program…
Lauranne lost 17.1 pounds of fat and 19.5 inches!!! Wow!
- Lauranne After the Program!
“I came into this program knowing about eating fresh foods and staying away from processed foods. But I couldn’t lose fat and gain muscle, even with calorie reduction and exercise. OBB provided me the missing link to optimal nutrition. The program taught me about what foods to combine (and not), what specific foods my body does not digest and which ones are essential, and what I need to eat to bump up my 50-year-old metabolism. My energy level feels like I’m 35 and I can keep up with my toddler grandsons and not tire. I’ve tried other weight loss programs, and this one is the gold standard!”

What does the phrase “family dinner” mean to you? When I think of a family dinner, I think of the entire family sitting around the table, eating a home-cooked meal, uninterrupted. For many families, this rarely, if ever, happens. Instead the family dinner has morphed into something new and barely recognizable. Instead of eating around the table, families are eating on the couch in front of the TV, they are eating in the car or separately in their rooms. Instead of a home-cooked meal, they are eating take-out, delivery, fast food, frozen dinners or pre-made meals. Instead of an uninterrupted time to enjoy each others company, we are busy watching TV, texting, driving or pretty much anything else you could think of. The loss of the traditional family dinner is a very sad thing; it’s a loss of the celebration of good, real food and the people we love. But it can be reclaimed.

Losing weight as an individual can be next to impossible if you don’t have some sort of support group or guidance. Instead of going it alone, get your entire family in on the action. Recent studies have shown that households who decide to make healthy lifestyle changes together are much more successful in achieving their goals than individuals who try to do it alone.
