Day 2 of the Local Food Challenge is a wrap! You can refer to my recap from yesterday if you're curious about the challenge and want to learn more about non-profit organization Growing Chefs. Highlight of this day was dinner which featured Rain City Soups and veggie skewers made up of fresh produce from the Main St. Farmer's Market and Organic Acres Market.
I was always curious about Rain City Soups whenever I paid a trip to the market and on my last visit I just couldn't resist the Butternut Squash and Fennel pack. These packs are perfect for days you don't want to spend all evening in the kitchen. It was a Monday, so that was reason enough. This soup is seriously delicious and really made me realize how I've underestimated the versatility of the butternut squash all these years.
As a side I made veggie skewers inspired by a recipe from one of my favourite food blogs, Love and Lemons. Bonus, this meal was also part of Meatless Mondays! It's pretty self-explanatory. You don't eat meat. On Mondays. Definitely take a look at some of the stats behind it and what an impact making that choice once a week can have for yourself and the environment.
Stay tuned tomorrow for a recap of Day 3!
