Now that we are twelve days into 2012 have you stuck to any of your new years resolutions? Or did you even make any resolutions this year?
One of my resolutions is to prepare a locavore meal once a week. If you are wondering what a locavore is, different people have different answers. My idea of a locavore is a person that eats food that is grown within a 150 mile radius.
If you cannot buy local food then you try to buy organic. It isn't always easy to find local food in NW Arkansas in January, but if you look it is available. Since the Bentonville Farmers Market doesn't open until April 28th, take your time at the grocery store and seek out produce that is grown by Arkansas farmers.
Make a pledge to eat a local meal once a week to:-Taste fresh produce, typically picked the night before a farmers market
-Experience variety such as heirloom tomatoes or Armenian cucumbers
-Have fun shopping, preparing a menu, and cooking with your spouse, best friend, kids, or dog
-Encourage a healthy lifestyle once ripe veggie at a time
Will you join me in seeking out local food for at least one meal a week?
