I love the Farmer's Market. That's all there is to it. I love an excuse to be out on a Saturday morning with my daughter. I love walking around and seeing all the fresh vegetables, plants and fruit. I love talking to the farmers and getting gardening tips for my garden. I love that the food is freshly picked and was grown either in the same county or neighboring county as to where I live. I love that most, if not all of the produce is organically grown. You get the point?
This is the loot I brought home this week.
Oh, one more: I love coming home and trying to figure out what to do with it all. This week my sweet cousin, T., was coming over for lunch so I wanted to make something new and fun. Cause she is a foodie like me. This is what I came up with:
Zoodle and tomato salad:
2 zucchini julienned with a julienne peeler
15 cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup fresh basil chiffonade (from my garden)
1 cup chopped black forest ham
Dressing:
2 oz. olive oil
1 oz. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. minced garlic (from a jar)
salt and pepper to taste
I wish I could've captured a picture of it before we gobbled it up, but that did not happen. Don't worry, this was good enough that I am sure I will be making it again sometime in the near future and I will post a picture then.
