Welcome to Local Eats!!!

Hey there everybody!!! The purpose of this blog is to make everyone aware that they're missing out on some of the best produce in the U.S. How many of you knew that there are farms, referred to as CSA's, that anyone can be a partner in and receive produce all throughout the growing season?
For more info go to www.localharvest.com

My name is Kyle. My wife Bethany and I live in Alaska with our little girl. This year we decided to take part in a CSA. We payed $500 to get a weekly delivery of everything the farm produced over the entire growing season. (just produce in our case, but there are CSA that can do meat/egg shares as well)


Obviously the growing season is here isn't very long since we have such short summers, but when summer hits full throttle we have about 22 hour of sunlight a day which let the plants grow pretty quickly!!

I'd also like to say that I am by no means all into the organic/earth friendly/sandals and singing songs around a fire kinda guy. I just flat out like GOOD FOOD, and I've never seen veggies any fresher than these first few weeks.

We'll keep you in the loop over the growing season and let you know how it all works out. I'll be sure to put some good recipes in a blog as we try them out.

My brother Ryan and his wife are also participating in a CSA down in Chicago. He's also keeping a blog of his experience at:

ZUPPA TOSCANA


We got some Kale last week (A strong robust green) that we used to make some Zuppa Toscana. This soup is best known for being on the menu at the Olive Garden. It's that delicious creamy soup with Italian sausage, Kale, and potatoes. I'm really not even going to put a recipe here but suggest that you just google "Zuppa Toscana Recipe". There are about 8 billion knockoffs of this soup out in internet land, but just make sure your recipe calls for lots of heavy cream or at LEAST half and half. If you find a recipe that calls for milk..... print it off... then put it through your shredder.
