Local favorite Denise Hakanson made a Mexican Breakfast at the Chef’s Tent using the following ingredients purchased from the market — eggs from Gail’s Farm, sweet sausage from Ernest and Son Market, onions, cilantro, scallions and tomatoes from Monteleone Farms and Jah’s Organic Farm. Denise cooked all of these and served them on Mexican corn chips. Denise had her compost box with her to fill and take home to her compost pile. She teaches us a good lesson about not wasting a thing.
