One Local Summer, Week 3:  Midwest

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Destabee made an asparagus-tomato-spinach quiche that sounds absolutely delicious.

Karen’s CSA haul allowed her to put together a satisfying meal of burgers, salad, and a bunch of veggies.

Becke had the ingredients to make CaBoom! Chili, and she shares the recipe with us!

Holly had an abundance of local leftovers and was able to put together her leftover speciality dish—it was so good she had to work quick to get a photo of it. Earlier in the week she had an almost all-local day!

Ellen was able to put together several local meals this week, and offers some suggestions for preparing greens for storage.

Jenny reports on a local on-the-road meal from last week, and two local meals she had eating out this week.

Sirena was adventurous and tried some new-to-her items, garlic curlies (scapes) and exotic mushrooms.

Robyn had a gorgeous meal of Roast Chicken with Candy Beets, Sauteed Beet Greens, and Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas.

Joy also had chicken with an interesting potato salad with kohlrabi and a green salad.

Anne had a great stir fry with a strawberry granita for dessert.

Molly experimented with arugula pesto and then made roasted thyme chicken.

Anna savored the joy of just-picked lettuce in a lovely salad.

Lori made “Bagel draped with melted methuzela cheese and topped with a halved 2-egg chive omelette, served with a side of tomato slices and washed down with fresh-brewed iced coffee liberally dosed with hormone- and antibiotic- free 2% milk.”  And locally roasted coffee.

Debbie made collard wraps with a curried tofu and quinoa filling.

Katherine had a pretty meal of pork steak, new potatoes, and sugar snaps.  (I’m not sure if this was for week 2 or 3, but here it is anyway.)
