the Eat Local Challenge. I cannot believe it is the last week of the eat local challenge. I had all all intentions of doing most of our shopping at the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market but I got a late start today and I am coming down with a cold. So, I did one stop shopping at Whole Foods. 90% of the groceries were local and/or organic. A weeks worth of groceries including 3 bottles of sustainable wine and an additional dinner with dessert to take to a dinner party came up to $175.00
This week’s menu will include:
Straus Yogurt for breakfast
Fair Trade cafe lattes w/local milk
Fresh baked Zucchini bread for breakfast & for a gift
Cereal – Organic
Steel cut Oats – Organic
Chicken Stock – for the freezer
Lasagna & two containers of Straus ice cream w/homemade toppings (dinner party)
Merez Lamb w/roasted squash
Lil’s Chicken with potatoes & grilled asparagus
Salad with pomegranates and prosciutto
Baked Pumpkin dish
Fresh Fruit for snacking
Roasted Almonds for snacking
Zucchini bread for breakfast & for a gift
