I am so impressed with your efforts to eat locally. I know it is more expensive in the short run… but good health will be less expensive in the long run!

P.S. I’m going to share something I recently learned about setting a table. Remember the car BMW = (from left)
Bread Plate
Meal Plate
Water Glass.
Kind of a fun way to remember what goes where.

Hey! How is the 30 day shred? What level are you doing it at? I’m thinking about purchasing it and it seems like from your entry it is worth a try!

I love your blog! Keep up the great work!

The plus side…You’re trying to eat local ingredients as much as you can. No one is perfect. I’m a vegetarian but, I can’t guarantee that everything I’ve put in my mouth has had NO animal by products what so ever. Keep going! : )

Good for you for going local. It is really hard and takes such a concerted effort. How do you balance eating local with eating organic? Is one more important than the other?

Jillian kicks my butt. I know she says everyone can do jumping jacks, but she’s never had a baby. Just sayin’.

And you should check out the Williams-Sonoma cookbook Family Meals. It has a great recipe for sauce (and a lot of other good recipes).

I love the Shred workout!

I try to eat local as much as possible – I’ll be checking back to see how your visit to the dairy farm goes!

awesome! i try to go local as much as possible, and you are right – it is so much more inspiring and fun to cook with the ingredients you have! opens you up to new things.

for the sauces you made – dont give up! add a little sugar, basil, and onion next time and i bet it’s closer to what you are looking for

Also, i keep hearing about this ‘shred’ workout and am a little bit terrified… but you say it is doable, i might have to try it…

I think we are more real and honest when we share the days that aren’t as we planned. And I always learn what to avoid next time- whether it’s a trigger, not being prepared/informed, or just realizing that I can’t handle a temptation like I thought I could (can we say cheese crackers?).

You are showing how challenging eating locally can be. But you’re also showing how to keep working on something that’s important to you. It takes a lot of bravery to share when it’s not 100% success. And you are brave. And that’s one if the many reasons I <3 you.

Oh, and because you can rock “that’s what she said!” and because you never want to live in a Gumby house and because you want big pants.
