One Local Summer - Week 3 - South

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

There were some fantastic things happening in the South this week!

Capturing Today’ fixed an amazing looking Sunday lunch: their own sirloin steak tips, potatoes, and peas.

Mel at Thirtyo made a great end of the garden casserole.  If you’ve got odds and ends of produce lying around from farmer’s market trips that you can’t quite figure out what to do with, casseroles are a great and delicious choice.

Over at Breakfast for Dinner, Jenn put together several great looking meals featuring local ingredients, including potato gratin, zucchini and onions; Carne Guisada; and frittata.

The folks at Tennessee Locavore had an tomato toast (including homegrown garlic!), grilled zucchini and squash, and cheese. Reading about it is making me hungry. 

At Walnut Spinney, they had a meal that many folks think you can only get from takout:  hamburgers, fries, and ice cream.

C. at Foodie Tots at locally off and on all week, including an amazing looking Father’s Day brunch.

E. at Outpost 505 cooked up two great meals:  pork and broccoli stir-fry, and grilled zucchini salad.  That salad is going on my to-make list.  I love zucchini, but always end up stir-frying it.

Heather at Simple - Green - Frugal documents had another entire day of eating locally, including pancakes, chipping away at a peach surplus, some lovely soup, and spaghetti squash.

At Our Greener Pastures, a mostly zero-mile frittata and salad were had.

Tiffany at The Garden Apartment did up a huge (and tasty looking) stuffed zucchini.  I know what I’m doing with the 8-ball zucchini lurking in my fridge.

Melissa at Bridgman Pottery had an all vegetable dinner with a great story behind it.

And finally, over at Low Mileage Food, we had a simple (but so, so good) dinner of squash and cube steak.
