The Challenge is BACK!

Ah, a year and a half later and it feels so good! 

Why do a challenge now, you may ask, after all this time?  Well a few reasons:

1. We are heading into the best time of year for eating locally here in the midwest and I’m feeling inspired again by all the farmers and farm fresh food around
2. I was listening to a show on the radio about running out of oil and alternative fuel sources and I started thinking about how hard it will be to get fresh food (some time in the future) when shipping food becomes prohibitive.  What a great time to learn about all your local sources!  Or grow your own!!
3. In the last year and a half i’ve been asked more than a handful of times ‘when are you going to do that challenge again?’
4. Most importantly:  I miss all of you and your good food and your awesome photos of good food and of your cute selves.

So let’s get it going again.

Official start date: August 15th 

It will run for 4 weeks and the basics are the same:

1. Prepare one meal per week made up COMPLETELY from local ingredients
2. At the end of that week send in a photo and little write up of your meal including where the food came from and any other little tidbits you’d like to share

There is no prize for this challenge – just the enjoyment of good food shared with others. 

Here are the rest of the rules
