I am so excited to be participating in the Faith and Food Challenge at The Local Cook. From from now until June 26th Wendy Hammond is cooking her way through Simply in Season, a Mennonite cookbook focusing on preparing fresh local foods.

Each week on The Local Cook, Wendy will post an article with Scripture, selected readings from Simply in Season, commentary from a guest poster, questions for reflection, and an activity or challenge for readers to complete in order to eat more locally and in season! She is also offering weekly giveaways.

Here is the Food and Faith Challenge schedule:
