Day 19: New twist old classic


So another first today. I converted a completely non-local (actually completely canned) dish into a locavore-friendly dish. I made the classic Campbell's green bean casserole.

Original ingredients: Canned cream of mushroom soup, canned green beans, canned french-fried unions.

Locavore ingredients: Cream of celery soup (homemade), fresh green beans, fried local onions, almonds.

It wasn't quite as pretty as the original but it was definitely more tasty (not to mention healthy!)

Also made some lemon orzo (Flour City Pasta), with tomatoes soaked in raspberry wine vinegar. All-in-all, a good meal!
