I went shopping at the farmer’s market yesterday–one of my favorite things to do–and brought home these beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables. I’m going to be eating good this week.
I plan to make stuffed green peppers with these beauties.
And a batch of eggplant Parmesan with these babies.
I also picked up some cherry pie filling, cherry jam, blackberry jam, and some enormous fresh blackberries. I’ll throw some sugar over the blackberries plus a tablespoon or two of blackberry jam for extra goodness, spoon them over biscuits or sponge cake, and top them with whipped cream. If you haven’t tried blackberry shortcake, give it a try. It’s a real treat.
I also picked up some pulled pork, sausages and peppers, homemade banana bread, blueberry muffins, fresh eggs in a rainbow of colors, and hand-made soap. You can’t find goodies like this in the grocery store. If you have a farmer’s market in your area and haven’t given it a try yet, what are you waiting for?
Mmm. Farmer’s market food is always good! I remember the horses love Farmer’s Market carrots the best since they are so sweet! They love the tops of the carrots just as much.
I’ll have to get some for the horses. Thanks for the tip!
