(should we eat vegetarian? vegan? organic? local? high-protein? gluten-free? grain-free? sugar-free?)
…it’s sort of comforting to eat organic, grown-in-compost produce from your backyard.
I’m fairly sure almost every diet out there would be ok with this (except maybe a macrobiotic diet). It’s local, organic, vegetarian, low-sugar, and low carb.
Not to mention frugal and delicious.

@Kristen "Oh yes, Katy! Because I'm all about prepared foods and coupons. :p"
Yeah, I can tell that from your photos. I get uneasy sometimes about some of the food photos posted on some frugal family sites. There seems to be a lot of prepared foods relative to the fresh ones. Don't get me wrong, I like me my junk and convenience foods - but those alone make for a poor diet. Poor diet leads to poor health. US'ans these days spend on the order of 10% of income on food while our grandparents spent 25-30%. If you have the money (some don't), saving it at the expense of a healthy diet doesn't seem like a good trade-off.
Which is why I find your food photos reassuring. Not that I have any influence over or responsibility for your family' eating habits, but that's what happens when you put parts of your life online. It's like a whole new batch of inlaws!

Froogal Doogal, I thought a tomato was a nightshade and that those aren't allowed on a macrobiotic diet. I'm not about to go macrobiotic, though! lol

Can you fill it with Hamburger Helper? Then you could use coupons! ; )

All my tomatoes succumbed to frost a week ago. The green ones on the fridge are ripening slowly, but aren't anywhere near as beautiful.
