A journal of two families trying to eat local pacific northwest foods for the month of August.

Why? To bring awareness, to support local farms and business, to eat healthier, try new foods...

Meeting Time

The Randall's and I hope to meet tonight to discuss our eating local effort. I need to start eating fewer carbohydrates and more protein. However, I know nothing about food. This will be a great education for me.

Finger Snacks - Kale Chips

Tatum and I were munching on some yummy veggie bootie today (puffed rice snacks) and I realized that I have to find a good "local" replacement for finger snacks. I had a lot of Kale in the fridge that needed to be used asap. So I decided to make "Kale Chips".

They turned out pretty good. Here is a picture of Tatum's reaction to the kale chips...she said they were good, but then didn't want any more. Maybe she was just being nice. I didn't think they were half bad. Give it a try.

Brown Bag?

I like to venture out at lunch, get some fresh air and pick up some eats. I think lunch is going to be my biggest challenge in August. I hear a brown bag calling my name (maybe I'll get a cute bag to help entice me). It might be peanut butter sandwiches and carrot sticks for me. Perhaps I can tag along with my lunch buddies and salivate over their food, or maybe I'll feel really good because I am helping this earth one meal at a time. At least my pocket book will thank me.

For those of you who work in Seattle homegrown has some good local eats.

Farsi?


This isn't Farsi. This is the result of a lot of digging in the dirt.

We can change anything


Just thought I would get us going.
