I recently came across your blog and I see that you have great content about good, sustainable food. I wanted to let you know that Brighter Planet has just launched a cooking contest, which I thought you might be interested in joining. We’d really appreciate your involvement (and your help spreading the word)! It's free, it's fun, and anyone can enter-- ideal for cooks, food lovers, and budding environmentalists alike! Here's the info: Brighterplanet.com is a new social website that helps people manage their environmental footprint. We just launched the "Mastering the Art of Sustainable Cooking" contest, aimed at inspiring folks to reduce the environmental impact of their diet. With this contest, we’re looking for people to complete sustainable cooking conservation tips and share their experiences, recipes, pics etc. The entries that have racked up the most thumbs up will be judged by a panel of environmental and culinary heavyweights (including Alice Waters, Bill McKibben, Gary Hirshberg and Amy Trubek) who will determine the final winners. The best write-up in each of the five tip categories will win a Kindle DX and a $100 gift certificate to load it up with your favorite cookbooks! How are you reducing your "foodprint?" http://blog.brighterplanet.com/sustainable-cooking/ Thanks! Jessica Hi Emily,

I have an active toddler, and my cooking has suffered greatly as a result of all of the toddler chasing I now have to do. Your recipes are so quick and easy, and I love your simple "cut to the chase" cooking instructions. You have made it possible for me to once again put some healthy food on the table.

A friend & I recently decided to try Vegetarianism for two weeks (or more). While doing research for our grand plan, I ran across your site! Thanks for sharing your insights, thoughts, & menus! I do have a request. Is there a way you can put the .rss feed option on your site? I really hate to ask, but it enables busy readers like me to easily keep up with your posts. Regardless, keep up the wonderful work! What a great site! A friend & I recently decided to try Vegetarianism for two weeks (or more). While doing research for our grand plan, I ran across your site!

My husband and I are trying to reduce our household waste (for various reasons including environmentalism and frugality), and part of that is producing our own veg as much as possible, and using every bit of what we do buy. Unfortunately we have a grand total of four square metres of vegetable-growing space, but it's a start! I don't know how plausible it would be to go entirely locavore - we live in Scotland, and it seems a little bleak never to eat a banana or an orange, or any green vegetables in winter except for kale and cabbage. But we are trying to reduce our impact in whatever ways we can. Hello…

There's a lot here for me to learn as I try to figure out what to do with the 30 lbs of apricots one of my dinner co-op buddies just dropped off from his tree. Being in a dinner co-op has freed up a lot of time for me to expand the veggie garden and learn more about preserving the harvest. I recommend checking out my website for more information on dinner co-ops: www.dinnerco-ops.com. Beautiful website!

I'm from Ann Arbor too, and we've joined a local CSA for the first time. We're having a blast discovering how to cook and prepare all these locally grown vegetables. Great website!
