The Eat
Local in the Winter Survival Guide
What Will I eat and How Will I Make it?
Wondering what you'll eat during the Localvore
Winter Challenge? While the Winter Challenge is a
bit tricker than the summer challenge, it's not as
hard as you think... here are a few (actually lots
and lots of) tasty recipes you can make with foods
available in the middle of winter. And, if you're
lucky, you have a few vegetables or berries in your
freezer, maybe some kimchi or pickles in the fridge
to spice things up a little!
