Food in the Time of Coronavirus

Look, it didn’t take long during our current crisis for folks to realize that, besides toilet paper, food is a necessity. And healthy food boosts your body’s chances to fight off disease. Is it worth the effort as we hobble through this seeming-apocalypse known as the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic? Is it too late if you haven’t jumped on the turnip wagon yet? Is there maybe something else going on with homegrown, fresh-picked sustenance that feeds your soul at a time when a single flicker of hope can get you through the day — and night? (Who joins me in tossing and turning a whole lot more than usual right now?)

They say planting a seed is the greatest act of faith in the future, and so I plant. I invite you along to join me. Can’t hurt, right? I give gobs of free tips on my blog Food for My Daughters (and in the book by the same name). I’ll share a bit here, too, and maybe we can finally grow some peas on earth (or at least peas of mind). No time for this growing movement? No problem. I’ve tried a few other ways to get fresh food recently as well that may be helpful. Dig in.
