Did you know that this week is The Week of Eating In? The initiative started on the Huffington Post and is an awareness raising event which aims to help save you money and understand where your food comes from. Simple, sensible goals.
For those challenging themselves with a week of cooking at home I hope that this here blog will provide tips, tricks, and helpful ideas. There are lots of recipes sorted by category in the side bar, so grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine and click around. Happy cooking!
The * indicates locally grown or sourced items.
- Monday: Venison** and white bean chili; sheep's-milk yogurt* from our ewe (it's a dairy CSA); baked blue corn chips; salsa; chopped cilantro*, jalapeños*, and sweet onion*.
- Tuesday: Leftover vegetable soup* (made Sunday) and turkey* sandwiches. (I'm headed out to a Hawaii culinary event.)

Your turn!
