Local Food Improvisation I enjoyed this week?
Left over whole wheat spaghetti, Asian-style with spinach and tomatoes. Saute up the last of the spinach and cherry tomatoes a touch of oil, garlic and ginger, just until spinach is wilted. Toss over pasta with a splash of soy, mirin, rice wine vinegar, hot sauce and a touch of sesame oil. (Add left over chicken if you have it.) Salt to taste if needed. Eat!
Butternut Cranberry Squares anyone?
I introduced this into school lunches. If you’re going to eat sweet, it might as well be real food right from our farms!  Link here.
