• Dark Days recap, week 2

  
  fast grow the weeds — Authority: 120
  Our Thanksgiving was fabulously local, and mostly home-grown.  But I’m not going to blah-blah about Thanksgiving for Week 2.  Nope.  Saturday night’s dinner will be discussed instead. The Dark Days Challenge was put together by Laura of (not so) Urban Hennery to get people to try to eat locally at least one ...

  cafe haven Some disclosure here:  I grew up in Sherwood Park back in the 70’s, and there were not many dining options at that time.  When McDonald’s opened on Wye Road when I was in high school, it was a BIG DEAL.  We used to hang out at the Dairy Queen and eat Peanut Buster Parfaits, which seemed to be to be ...

  fast grow the weeds — Authority: 120
  Tick tock, big roof bird:  Thanksgiving dinner For a nonreligious family whose head cook is admittedly a bit food-mad, Thanksgiving remains THE holiday of the year. We’re on track (again) for an all-local meal, with about 85-90% of all the ingredients grown and raised right here.  Cider and wine from 5 miles ...

  Kitchen Gadget Girl Cooks — Authority: 124
  With Thanksgiving only days away, and my in-laws arriving on Tuesday, plus a boat-load of cooking planned between now and then, I am operating on the KISS principal for dinners this week – Keep It Simple, Stupid. One of the dinners I had planned last week did not get made, since we had tons of leftovers, so I will ...

  EbioAnt — Authority: 143
  By Katie Henry Have you ever considered the origin of any of the products that you buy? When you buy batteries, or gloves, or grapes… do you ever look to see where they were made, grown or distributed? American consumers are accustomed to having access to any product or food item at any time of the year, even ...

• A very Wisconsin ideal meal

  
  The Lost Albatross — Authority: 408
  Just over 10 years ago, I made up my mind to officially cut meat out of my diet. I had been toying with the idea for awhile before that, removing beef (easy, because Id never been a fan) and then chicken (tricky, because so much has stock in it), and finally turkey (the most difficult--I love turkey). The choice ...

  The Ethicurean: Chew the right thing. — Authority: 504
  Ever since the idea of going locavore, or eating local on 100-mile diets, tiptoed into the mainstream a couple of years ago, more people have chosen to support their local farmers markets and to eat fresh food in season. The old chorus continues, however: “What can a locavore eat in the winter?” Well, quite a ...

  Kitchen Gadget Girl Cooks — Authority: 124
  Part of me is tempted not to cook too much this week, in preparation for the marathon that happens next week. Well that, and we have a ton of leftovers – husband made a big New Mexican feast this weekend, with smothered pork, posole as a vegetable, and black bean and sweet potato enchiladas. Oh wait, I have written ...

  Chocolate Crayons & More — Authority: 112
  The 3rd Annual Dark Days Challenge begins today, and I celebrated by cooking an almost an entirely local dinner without even planning it! For those unfamiliar with the challenge, the goal is to eat one meal/week which is made up of only foods found locally. Easy in summer, tougher in winter. Many people preserve ...

• Dark Days challenge, week one

  
  fast grow the weeds — Authority: 120
  To start off this challenge with a big bang, how about a local dinner for 50? Granted, this dinner was in the works long before I signed up for the Challenge .  As some of you may know, I am very involved with food and food issues at our daughter’s school.  We have a garden, we source local foods, we spend ...

• Three-season sustainability

  
  Going Green Mama — Authority: 415
  The close of farmers markets in the fall always made me a little disappointed. The end of sweet corn and cherry-red tomatoes meant I was destined for months of bland food: tasteless iceberg lettuce, white potatoes and button mushrooms from the supermarket. But the last few years, Ive learned that eating a little more ...

We have been subscribing to Frog Hollow Farms CSA since the beginning of September. Each week, we receive a bountiful box of fresh, perfectly ripe organic fruit. What ...
