Last week we rented a cabin in Hocking Hills and spent the week hiking, canoing, and enjoying the peace and quiet of being away from the city. We started off the week by loading up the coolers with all of our local goodies from Crown Point and the Peninsula Farmers' Market, packed up the car 'til we couldn't stuff any more in, and began our three hour drive to Logan, Ohio. While in the area, we ate at several restuarants with the Ohio logo on the door, signifying that they use locally-grown or raised ingredients in their menu. We even made a stop for dinner at a restaurant in Athens where my brother cooks.
Saturday we returned to Akron, stopping at Crown Point to pick up our weekly veggie share. Yay! Carrots are here! I have to admit the three of us ate most of the carrots on our way home, they are by far the best carrots we've had.
Wednesday, July 4th, we met with family for a fantastic picnic/cook-out in the park, featuring Rose Ridge grass-fed burgers! Yum! Of course, we had to top the burgers with Meadow Maid grass-fed cheese. So, this may not be the most low-fat weight-loss inducing diet, but we aren't going hungry! We also munched on the last of our delicious Crown Point sugar snap peas. They are so good raw that I never even cooked any of them this year...we've been eating them as snacks and in salads. Ethan (our 4-year old) loves them!
That's all for now!
