Exciting things are happening at our Growling Local NOLA campus in Central City New Orleans! As our contribution to the annual NOLA Locavores Eat Local Challenge , we hosted an “all local” farm to table cooking demonstration. We had more than 50 people in attendance trying out our fresh and delicious recipes with ingredients from all local farms (including ours)!
Zucchini and yellow squash “pasta” ribbons with pecan basil pesto
Herbed strawberries over mixed greens in a lemon honey pecan vinaigrette
Blueberry honey frozen yogurt with candied pecans and a sweet cream drizzle
We’ll be featuring these in our upcoming newsletter too – so be on the lookout for that coming your way soon. Not a member yet and want these great recipes and more? Join our mailing list!
Many thanks to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation for all their support in developing Growing Local NOLA and allowing us to offer free health-supportive programs for our community!
