Two straight weeks of bronchitis isn’t slowing Annette down (even though she says it is). She managed yet another impressive array of Sustainable Eats this week, including omelettes, chile con carne with corn muffins, whole-wheat pizzas with homemade sausage, plus homemade English muffins and a potato-y breakfast scramble. Amy rejoins the challenge this week with a [...] Brittney at Rock Solid is finding it easier to come up with locavore meal options, heading into week 7.
