Done But Not Over

The Wisconsin Eat Local Food Challenge ended today. (At last count 532 people had signed up for it!)

It has renewed my determination to keep my family headed in the right direction nutritionally.

It has really made me think twice about what food items will end up in my shopping cart. Looking for "local" food labels, not just the ingredients will be a priority from now on.

Also where I shop will be determined by the availability of local food products.

Anyway, how did I do? I actually ended up spending 60% of my total food expenditures on local foods! Not bad. I was shooting for at least 50%.

Equally amazing was the number of new local food links I found within a relatively short driving distance from my home. I'm excited about highlighting them in the next few weeks.

New friends, delicious and nutritional foods and Packer football (3-0)! Now that is a winning combination!
