Best Dressed Challenge: We want you the listener to send in your favorite recipe. It could be a dressing for a mixed green salad or a roasted veggie salad or heck we’ll even accept an egg salad recipe. we will test them in the “Official Local Food Hero Kitchen” and between now and the state fair we will choose our favorite 3 to be entered in a contest to win a super prize. Yet to be determined. Send your recipe to localfoodhero@gmail.com

We will then take those three recipes and invite the authors to come to the fair and we’ll have a celebrity chef prepare them at the healthy local food exhibit that RTC presents at the eco experience… we will then let fair goers choose their favorite. This should be fun.

Send your recipe to localfoodhero@gmail.com
