Local Foods Make Great Recipes

Ok… lets talk about all the great products being made here in my back yard. These are high quality and made with love products. If you are the Foodie I think you are, well lets get started.

First let start with BOETJES MUSTERD

Boetje's Mustard is a Quad Cities-and national-favorite. Beginning in 1889, Fred Boetje began making stoneground Dutch mustard in his garage in Rock Island, Illinois. Using the same recipe today of water, mustard seed, sugar, salt and distilled vinegar, Boetje's tops all mustard sales in the local retail market. It even outsells the big three-French's, Kraft and Plochman-by 7 to 1. In a survey by Illinois Magazine published in its July 2002 issue, Boetje's was voted to be the "Best Illinois food product" in Northern Illinois.
