Locavore?

Last winter I read Barbara Kingsolver's book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle". In this book the author and her family decide to live off the land for a year. They come up with ground rules that they will not buy or eat anything that is not grown locally. This book is what made eating locally such a popular thing for many people. People who eat local are now known as locavores.
So, after reading Kingsolver's book I thought, "We can do this". So my girlfriend and I started buying things in the summer months and freezing, canning and dehydrating. Not a simple task! We planned to start our full-fledged year of eating locally in the fall. So, with our last Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) pick-up we made our last trip to the grocery store until fresh Indiana products were back in season.
Many people have asked us how things are going. Many are wanting recipes. Many want to know how we planned and what we are eating. So, I am going to start blogging about all of these things. I will be posting info about what we saved to winter over. What we are eating (chances are it will be green beans...we stored a little too much). And posting recipes.
