One Local Summer, Week 5: Midwest

Monday, July 07, 2008

At the Nourished Kitchen, Jenny, who is using local ingredients in all of her meals, had a local meal from a concessionaire at her very picturesque farmer’s market. 

Lesli at Going Green reprised her vegetable wraps from last week and added the “Best steak ever.”

Eco Burban Mom Mandi is finding it so easy to put together local meals that she’s doing it without even trying to! 

Karen at Toteleeding had two kinds of zucchini-crusted pizza and a delectable peach crumble with homemade ice cream. 

Attempting to recreate a meal she and her husband had in Germany, Sirena at Swimming in This Sea of Life put together a hearty meal of kale, onions, potatoes, and sausages.

Contributing to a family potluck, Joy at The Spiral of Seasons made a simple but pretty cucumber salad and a lovely loaf of bread. 

At twelve22 Anna had a simple and elegant meal, which she ate while reading her neighborhood paper. 

JediMomma Robyn made an unusual but delicious sounding cabbage and cheddar pie. 

Destabee of Kaleidoscope Living is away from home helping with flood relief efforts (thanks Destabee!) and isn’t cooking but is still able to eat locally at least a little at a local tavern and has been able to get some veggies, honey, and cinnamon rolls from the local farmer’s market where’s she’s assigned. 

Debbie of Rites of Passage has been remiss at posting about her local meals, but she’s been eating lots of spinach salads and sesame kale and black raspberries this week. 

Kris at Quilted Simple had a meal of steak, baby potatoes, zucchini, and fruit, and also processed a LOT of berries for freezing to eat later. 

Anne of Green Leanings had a lovely sounded vegetarian pasta dish and salad. 

And for dessert, a luscious honey cake was on the menu for Molly of Field | Work. 

Becke at Columbus Foodie made a 100% local breakfast with local eggs, butter, potatoes, bread, sausage and bacon.  Whew!  That’s some breakfast!
