95% Backyard Dinner Challenge


Future Coleslaw


Happy Earth Day! We have been planning to start a 95% backyard dinner challenge and picked tonight as the kick off date. Little did I realize- it is Earth Day today. Que Perfecto!

How it works: Pick one night of the week and make a meal out of what is growing in your backyard. We are calling it the 95% challenge so you can use salt, pepper and one other ingredient you need. Let's say milk for a backyard quiche. Compared to the week out of the backyard eating adventure- this feels like a snap. We will look up menus and recipes depending on what we have growing that week.

Join us?

PS- My photos have been a wee bit lackluster lately since DKIW dropped my camera on the floor and there is now only one focus level that works. I have been intending to buy a new one- but in honor of Earth Day I am going to get my old one fixed at the camera shoppe. It's amazing how things that are better for the Earth are often better for your budget as well.

  1. Great idea! Right now we would starve. Our last frost date is 5/15 - But I do have one winter squash left over from last October.
