Recipes
Use these recipes as guidelines. Try them out,
then make them your own. Use the provided tips + variations to fit your preferences or pack in the nutrition. Tweak them to suit your lifestyle or swap out ingredients to make them allergy-friendly. I’ve taken out the nutrient guesswork by adding whole food ingredients with extra vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants & omega-3s.

How to Find a Farmers' Market or CSA Near You
June 30, 2010 by Melanie Zook
According to Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, if every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally & organically-raised meats & produce, we would reduce our country’s oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels every week.
Want to become a locavore & give the 100-mile diet a try? Find a farmers’ market or community sustainable agriculture (CSA) near you.
Many offer organic produce, but if not, purchasing local produce can be just as good (if not better) for our environment. (Do you really want organic green beans from China anyway?)
Both are great learning experiences for kids, too! Check out LocalHarvest.org. (If nothing turns up in your area, try a produce delivery service).
