I eat locally most of the time. Between the CSA and the farmer’s markets most of my food is local. Our challenge was to blog about a local meal. These days the CSA drives what I eat. Days with lots of local items are normal.
I made French onion soup in the crock pot the other day. Onions from the local market. Stock from the Briggs Chaney market. I put the soup away until today.

I also had leftovers from my tomato sauce, CSA potatoes and Berkshire hog kielbasa. The kielbasa was from Shearer’s. Bought on a road trip to Gettysburg. Sometimes I forget to take pictures, but the food is definitely local.
The soup was covered with Canela bread. And Bowling Green Farm Smoked Gouda.
What I love most about how my cooking has evolved is the change to building a meal around local foods. Like those killer onions and that Bowling Green Smoked Gouda. Believe me. My husband said this cheese is like butter on a plate, but with smoke. This is an awesome cheese.
Find some at the Howard County markets.

Oh, I adore onion soup. I have a plan to make it this week. Thanks for sharing yours.
YOur meal sounds great. All those flavors. Onions, smoked gouda and the keilbasa. YUM
What is so crazy these days is deciding what to blog. We eat so much that is local. The smoked Gouda was a real treat. Glad the local farm is making it.
