I'm Joining the Party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2014


I'm joining the Ulitimate Blog Party 2014 sponsored by 5 minutes for Mom.

I'm Nan, a.k.a. Granny Fabulosa.  I'm a former financial analyst turned full-time granny.  (Yes, as a matter of fact, Granny IS a full-time job.  If you do it right. ;) )



My #1 project is participating in a Community Supported Agriculture program and utilizing 100% of the sometimes crazy but always wonderful, fresh, seasonal, local, and organic produce that is delivered weekly to my door.

The weird knobby things are sunchokes. Click here to see what I did with them.




I also love cooking...


               






and painting furniture... 










fixing up thrift store finds...








and travelling...









And so much more!  Join me!

  2. I can't wait to explore your blog! I just read your post on sunchokes. I've never heard of them before! It must be fun to get produce from your CSA that is so fresh. I know that sometimes produce is too hard to send to the grocery store because it needs to be fresh, like one of my favorites; kohlrabi! I only get to eat it from my uncle's garden. :)

    1. Oh my gosh! Kolhrabi was our favorite discovery last year! So sweet and crispy raw, so tasty stewed up with some tomatoes and squash... I hope we get plenty more this year.

      Thanks for checking out my blog, and come back again!!!! I'll be dropping by to visit yours, too.
