Tasty Tuesday: Local Co-op!

"Good food in season responds best to the simplest preperation...You really can't go wrong when you start with quality. The best cook in the world can't make good food from poor ingredients; and it takes some perverse genius to turn great ingredients into bad food!"
~Mireille Guiliano



Well today's little tasty tuesday thing is really only for people living in southeast Idaho, so sorry to the rest of you, but it is something I'm really excited about! Most of you probably know that living in Idaho is not my favorite thing and you've probably all heard me complain about it. One of the things that I complain about most is the food, or lack there of! I hate not having a variety of places to grocery shop and often have a very hard time finding unusual ingredients for dishes I want to make and when I do find them the quality is often not so great! Well, I'm excited to announce, in case you haven't heard, Idaho Falls is taking a big step...We're finally getting a Co-Op!!!

I'm pumped! It is suppose to open sometime in the next few months and will be a place to find locally grown produce, organic foods, and all kinds of food products that can't be found anywhere else around here! It is really important, however, that it gets the community support it deserves. Check out their website: http://www.eaglerockcoop.blogspot.com/

One of the best ways to show your support is to get a membership. Memberships are half price right now until they open and get you a discount every time you shop as well as input and voting priveleges to help decide what products are featured as well as other decisions. You can shop there even without a membership but you'll save money and help insure that more things like this thrive in Idaho Falls. There are also some other links to great local things on the website!
