Localvore Week, Day 3

I bought all of this fresh, LOCALLY RAISED, food yesterday at NorthSide Farmers Market, for about $35.00. I had planned to spend $25.00, but that was before I realized that we did not have much meat left at home.

After the market, I traded with several other vendors and came home with a large bag of tomatoes, a few cookies, and two cinnamon rolls (ah...the perk of being a vendor!)

But even without those extras, I think that I did pretty good. I got a variety of veggies, meat for at least 5 meals, and, for fruit break from peaches, apples, and pears, I bought a cantaloupe.



Today's local fare:

Lunch:
boneless pork, cut into strips and pan fried, served with peach/pear salsa
eggplant sautéed in the garlic scape oil that I made earlier this summer
fresh cantaloupe melon
apple/pear cobbler served with Hartzler's Dairy whole milk

Iced tea


Planned for supper:
stuffed peppers cooked in home-made tomato juice
cauliflower with cheese sauce
veggie sauté ~ carrot, yellow squash, onion 
Italian herb bread w/ butter

cantaloupe smoothie
water
