Hello! Well I've certainly not posted every week as I had hoped to do. However 30 weeks is way over half of the year, so I've done the majority of times. It's snow covered here and about 30 degrees. I just finished a walk with my dog and the the sky is dark at 5 pm and the Christmas lights are on. They make me so happy. As for yesterday's eats here they are...
Breakfast: Roasted veggies, 2 sunny side up eggs and a mandarin orange from Tree Ripe Farms. I love their fruit. It's direct from a the grower and shipped or trucked up here. I had the veggies leftover from Thanksgiving and honestly they are one of my favorite ways to start the day. Of course I had a warm cup of coffee to drink. The veggies are all from my local winter farm market: carrots, Brussel sprouts, and a little bit of broccoli.
Lunch: Lentil and veggie soup and an apple. I made the soup over the weekend and had enough for 2 days of leftovers. The apple is one of the last Honeycrips from the local orchard.
Dinner: Macaroni and cheese, collards, and tomatoes from Mighty Vine. I love mac and cheese and so does our whole family. The tomatoes from mighty vine taste excellent. If you can find some at your small grocer they are worth purchasing. They are grown in Illinois and don't travel more than a few hours away from the source. Whey I see them in the winter I always pick them up.
Dessert: Mocha Crinkle Cookies. These chocolate Christmas cookies and have just a hint of spice. They are perfect after a winter meal in December.
I hope you have had an enjoyable week so far.
Bon Appétit!
and as always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
