Tips to Prepare You for the Challenge
Make ingredients such as tortillas, pasta, sauces, and clarified butter in bulk so you have some for future meals.
Make enough dinner for leftovers. Making food from scratch takes a lot of time so the more you make from meal to meal the more you can use for a follow-up meal the next day. Or freeze and use a few weeks later.
Scour the Recipe and Local Food Sources (look in the left-hand sidebar) sections of the Blog. Veteran Challengers have put together a wealth of information.
Tell people that you are doing the Challenge. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the amount of support out there--folks may even start giving you some of their own local bounty!
