Year In Review – Hottest Family Food Fun of 2009

Posted by Robin Rivers on December 30th, 2009 No Comments Printer-Friendly

It has been an excellent year for eating (especially eating local) here at Our Big Earth. We’ve loved learning lots of new and delicious recipes that are perfect for that family meal and really enjoyed learning how to create new and different dishes from a multitude of yummy ingredients.

Our recipe book is getting better and better, with 2009 making a particular splash as columnist Sarah Stromquist took her column from how to cook with kids to cooking amazing goodness for kids. Take a look at some of our favorite posts for getting your family into the kitchen and sourcing local yumminess the last 365 days and be sure to vote for your #1 at the end:
