Breakfast Day 31: Whole wheat toast with SunButter & red raspberries from Karen’s Holmgrown of Winthrop
I received my first ever Dew Drop Gardens CSA delivery this morning! I even got some tips from Erin Grams on how to freeze broccoli. My box included garlic, chives, parsley, rhubarb, broccoli green beans & cucumbers
Lunch Day 31: Toasted cheese pita pocket, leftover zucchini boat, green beans & snap peas
Dinner Day 31: Left over steak, sautéed veggies (garlic, onion, carrots, zucchini, peas & beet greens), raspberries & PastureLand aged cheddar cheese
Today was the first day of the Olivia Farmers’ Market; at their new location in the Alco parking lot. There were four venders there with tons of great looking produce including basketball sized kohlrabi called Grand Duke, baked goods, canned items and handmade things like mittens, purses, hot pot holders & dish scrubbers. A huge thanks to Senator Kubly & County Administrator Sara Folsted for showing their support at the Olivia Farmers’ Market!
As the month long Eat Local Challenge is winding down everyone keeps asking me what’s next. And I really don’t have a concrete answer. I am sure that a combination of habits will blend together. I will still make an occasional loaf of bread, have dinner at a restaurant & order a pizza while still shopping at the area Farmers’ Markets. You know its summer in Minnesota, why wouldn't you want to eat local? The markets are full of great things. Go out there and see for yourself!
