Week six of One Local Summer and it’s almost the mid-point of the thirteen week challenge. The husband decided to take the lead on this week’s meal with no objection from me.   In the back is a pile of mashed turnips and carrots with maple sugar added for flavor.   Clockwise, next is a Bison Meatloaf using ground bison, tomatoes, garlic scapes, swiss cheese, an egg, and last year’s frozen tomato sauce.   Finally, sugar snap peas finish the plate.   In the wine glass is a Strawberry wine.   It was a great meal, and even better, I didn’t have to cook it!

One Local Summer

OLS: Week 5

One Local Summer rolls on into week five.     I figured I’d switch it up a bit and do a breakfast meal this week before we left for the Dominican Republic.   Why yes, I spent most of June out of the country.     🙂

Potatoes in front are basic home fries in the skillet with potatoes (there were lots of potatoes) from last week’s run to the Anselma Mill Market.   The bacon on the side is from Country Time Farm and is becoming a fast favorite probably because it’s almost fresh off the pig with no nitrates.   In the back is a slice of frittata containing eggs picked up at Willow Creek Orchards from Pleasant View Farms, Tomatoes from Lancaster County, Garlic Scapes grown at Willow Creek, and Hendricks Swiss Cheese, and more bacon.

Non-Local ingredients used: Olive oil, salt, pepper

This was my first time visiting Willow Creek and I just love the store and the pick-your-own vegetable patch.   We brought home some turnips, snap peas, and carrots as well that I hope to use this week.   As previously mentioned, we were away most of the week in the Dominican Republic since I was flown in for a friend’s wedding to  be the  photographer – LOTS of great photos and I can’t wait to post them.   We had a lovely time and may even go back for a proper vacation maybe in the winter when it’s hopefully not quite so warm!
