Random Acts of Foodness

Here's another round of Random Acts of Foodness (aka good news about food) to start your week out on a positive, tasty note.

• Mellow Mushrooms in the NWA area are doing some cool things to help people out in the community (like hosting charity events and donating to the fight against hunger). Follow their Facebook Page to stay updated. 

• Heard about the Kitchn Cure 2013 and sad you missed out on this incredible organizing opportunity? Catch up on the 10 days of assignments here and you're on your way to a cleaner, happier kitchen.

• I can hear my grandmother saying "waste not, want not" right now.

• Some interesting insight into the international trail that our sugar consumption leaves.

• Although I didn't get to attend, I'm glad people in the community got to contribute to Apple Seeds Seeds that Feed sale!

Here's another round of Random Acts of Foodness (aka good news about food) to start your week out on a positive, tasty note.

1. It looks like Apple Seeds, Inc. is doing wonderful things for the youth of NWA. And I love seeing pictures of what they're doing in local schools on their Facebook page.

2. Similarly, Oregon is taking local foods in school seriously.

3. Interested in international foods as well as getting some recipes by renowned chefs? Check out this Share cookbook that supports Women for Women International's work to help women in war-torn countries.

4. Some things you probably didn't know about the people picking your produce.

5. Great advice for those who have thought about starting a community garden.

6. And because I love the Despicable Me movies, here's a very special, food-inspired minion.
