OLS Wrap-Up

I have really been remiss!  I missed three postings for the One Local Summer Challenge.  And now it's over.  So, without further ado, these are the things that we made for the last three weeks.

Week 11 - Sausage, Peppers and Onions

Week 12 - Meatballs and Beets

Week 13 - Bison and Pepper Rice

That last one was one of my absolute favorites this whole summer - and one of the easiest to make!  It's a crock-pot meal, for goodness sake!  It definitely goes into the permanent rotation.

One Local Summer, Week 10

We are winding down the One Local Summer Challenge!  It's been fun and exciting.  Just a couple more weeks to go and we'll have made it all the way through.  W00t!

This week, we made Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary-Plum Coulis.

And He made a blazing hot sauce with our very own peppers.  

That's it for this week.  We'll be back next week, I'm sure!

One Local Summer, Week 9

We've already got a couple of dishes for Week 9 of the One Local Summer Challenge.  We made something that we ate for breakfast.  It was really hearty and substantial.  We both really liked it.

Peach Crisp

Then we made a wonderful chili full of all sorts of yumminess.  And the leftovers were even better!

One Local Summer, Week 8

I forgot to post either of the meals from last week, so here they are.

Minute Steak Sandwiches with some very pink Beet and Potato Salad

Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans

One Local Summer, Week 7

Just some plain old food - spaghetti with meat sauce.  The sauce was great (the pasta, not so much).  We made a casserole from the leftover sauce and it was goooood!

One Local Summer, Week 7

This may be the only local meal we do this week.  I am totally uninspired!  This is turkey cutlets with cool pepper sauce, served with smashed potatoes and carrots.

  

One Local Summer, Week 6

Quick post.  Here's the latest - spaghetti casserole.  Mmmm!

One Local Summer, Week 6

This was our dessert last night.  It's a plum and blueberry cobbler.  It was good enough but the blueberries were much sourer than I had anticipated.  The plums we used were incredible!

One Local Summer, Week 6

This is our first entry for Week 6 of the One Local Summer Challenge.  It is pot roast with roasted vegetables.  

Simple and quite delicious!

One Local Summer, Week 5 Ends

This was our last meal for the week and it was a nice local meal.  We love these!  I've been very anxious for the sweet corn to hit the farmer's markets and it finally did!

Creamy Corn and Chorizo-Stuffed Mushrooms

One Local Summer, Week 5

I realized that I never posted this meal we had this week. This is grilled London broil with sauteed zucchini and smashed potatoes. The veggies were delicious!!

One Local Summer, Week 5

More comfort food! This is an old recipe that I've made many, many times. It never fails.

Chicken Noodle Soup

One Local Summer, Week 5 Begins!

  Week 5 of the One Local Summer Challenge begins with breakfast.  While we weren't wowed by the whole breakfast, we really did enjoy these little sweet biscuits.

Maple Sugar Ragamuffins

One Local Summer, Week 4 Wrap-Up

This was the last of our dishes for Week 4 of the One Local Summer Challenge.  This was really quite delicious!

Broccoli with Cheesy Mushroom Sauce

One Local Summer, Week 4

And how about some dessert to top it all off?

Ricotta with Strawberries and Honey

One Local Summer, Week 4

I have not been keeping up!  I've been on vacation so I've been cooking up a storm.  Here are three entries I forgot to post here:

  Cucumber Salad (we've reviewed this recipe before but here it is made locally)

  Chicken Pot Pie

  Cream of Asparagus Soup

This was a good batch.  Everything was quite tasty!

One Local Summer, Week 4

Dinner last night was really tasty!  It was pork medallions and cherries.  I think we will make this one again (if I can find fresh cherries, that is!).

Here's the link and a picture.  Mmmm!

One Local Summer, Week 3 Continued Some More

We made buffalo burgers on the grill tonight!  (And when I say "we", I mean "He".)  They were quite yummy and the whole meal was local.  So, yet another meal for Week 3 of the Challenge.

Here's a link to the description.

One Local Summer, Week 3 Continued

I'm very sleepy tonight!  I took a sleeping pill but I'm trying to get this posted before I (hopefully) zonk out.  Oh, the life of an insomniac!

Anyway, here is tonight's very yummy dinner - Buffalo Stew - our version.

Find the write-up over on Flickr here.  I didn't even bother with the recipe!  It's stew - how can you get it wrong??  

One Local Summer, Week 3

Tonight's meal was not so good.  I may try it again some time with a few modifications.  But it qualifies for the One Local Summer challenge and that's good.

Onion and Pepper Turkey Sausage with Braised Broccoli - find the post on Flickr here.

For some reason, the picture won't upload so you'll have to see it over on Flickr.
