First Post!

Hello! So this is my first post on this blog, Green Grub: Food for Your Health and the Environment! The purpose of this blog is to undertake an initiative to eat better, not only in terms of my health, but in terms of the environment as well. I love to cook, but up until recently have fallen victim to the excuse that seems to plague all of our lives: "I just don't have time!" I (with the help of my girlfriend Amanda) will seek to cook a meal every day that is not only healthful, but delicious. As I get better at this cooking every day thing, I will try to add more sustainable ingredients to our meals, while cutting out those ingredients that are environmentally harmful. All the while, I will try and share some of the knowledge I have gained regarding our food, as well as providing you with links and resources to make some positive food changes of your own.

Whew! Okay, enough of explaining why I'm here. Every day I will try and update you with a description of a meal from the night before, along with pictures and recipes (as much as possible). Last night, we had a wonderful butternut squash soup with herb and cheese biscuits. An amazingly simple and quick meal (as the soup was store-bought - this is the type of thing I hope to wean myself off of), but quite delicious.
