One Local Summer, Week 4:  Midwest

Tuesday, July 01, 2008

With veggies from her CSA, Lesli of Going Green made a pretty veggie wrap with strawberries on the side. 

The farmer’s market is keeping Jenny of The Nourished Kitchen busy and well supplied with local ingredients for all of her meals. 

Columbus Foodie Becke is also making lots of local meals, this week, one of which included a lovely chicken paprikash. 

Pancakes were on several local menus this week; Sirena at Swimming in this Sea of Life served hers with bacon and Mexican chocolate coffee.  Ellen of The Daily Grind also had pancakes with strawberry syrup and eggs for one of her many local meals this week, and so did Mandi at Eco Burbun—she had strawberries and cinnamon mocha coffee with hers. 

Joy of The Spiral of Seasons made a potato salad with tzatziki sauce and chicken and a salad with grated beets. 

A BLT and an unusual minted whey beverage made up a meal for Holly of blender, and another meal consisted of roasted chicken and “toss-your-random-herbs-in-here-potatoes.”

Anne at Green Leanings tried her hand at cooking a steak for the first time and had a delicious-sounding artisan mango lassi frozen yogurt for dessert.

Few meals sound better than Robyn’s paneer and raita followed by gorgeous strawberry ice cream for dessert.  (JediMomma’s Journal)

Katherine of Kitten’s Lost Her Mittens is lucky that one of her employer’s share’s their CSA veggies.  Because of this she got to try raw turnips for the first time!

Molly at field | work paid extra attention to enjoying good food and good conversation at her meals this week. 

Fresh-from-the-garden peas, broccoli and kale were on the menu for Anna of twelve22.org, along with potato hash. 

Debbie of Rites of Passage made a brown rice risotto-like dish, some more tofu, and broccoli and sugar snap peas. 

Karen at toteleeding is cleaning out her freezer and put together a beautiful cauliflower cheese pie and roasted eggplant and peppers salad, with angel food cake and strawberries for dessert.

Last minute addition from Lori of Life in Webster Groves.
