Something I've always wanted to attempt is to go for a month only eating foods that I grew, raised, or foraged. Never done it until now, though. I'm going to wait until the summer (when the really good stuff is here) to do a full month in earnest, but this week (Tuesday, March 22nd to Tuesday, March 29th) I'm going to get a practice run in. I have some things I canned last year (beets, tomato juice, okra, jalapenos, and pickles), things I froze last year (carrots, spinach, turnip greens and beet greens), and things I dried last year (tomatoes and plums). In addition to that I have fresh mustard greens, cress, and spinach in the garden now, eggs, pecans from this past fall and four chickens that I butchered last month in the freezer. Looks to me like that will take care of my vitamins and minerals with all the vegetables and the eggs, pecans and chicken will give me the protein and fat that I need. Will be a low-carbohydrate week, but that will be healthier in itself.
I'll post my menus at the end of each day.
