The ingredients of our 100 mile diet

Here's what we'll be eating during the EcoChallenge:
-Homemade breads & pizzas
-All the veggies still producing in the garden-- beets, tomatoes, peppers, chard, kale. And maybe by the 2nd week the cabbage and turnips will be ready for early harvest?
-Apples & pears, and potentially still some peaches & nectarines
-In moderation, local meats, fish & dairy (we're visiting a local farm to stock up this weekend on our flour pick-up trip)
-CSA veggies-- if our share is anything like last week we'll be all set for veggies with the CSA alone!
-Frittatas, omelettes, and other egg dishes

What I haven't figured out how I will live without: chocolate. . .

The zero sugar aspect of our local diet will be very good for me, but hard!! I make a conscious effort not to eat tons of sugar, but the fact of the matter is I still love candy & chocolate... and haven't gone a day without sugar since... ever?
