Farmers Market Aztec Casserole
To say I love ‘thrifting’ is an understatement. And as a food blogger, I’m not alone. We’ve always got an eye out for unique dishes and props to use for our food photography sessions. I head straight to the dish/cookware section when I enter a thrift store then head to the cookbook shelf. Last week while visiting our local Humane Society Thrift Store I spied this gorgeous cookbook. The cover recipe was for Budín Azteca aka Aztec Casserole which matched this week’s Farmers Market bounty beautifully.

Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies
Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?!

Farmers Market Minestrone Soup {Share the Love}
The next time you visit your local Farmers Market have this recipe in the back of your mind. In fact if you arrive near the close of the market, which means the ‘prettiest’ veggies will have been picked over, you’ll often find farmers willing to let their remaining produce go at a reduced price. Perfect for making a giant batch of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup which allows you to {Share the Love}.

Easy Fresh Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam
When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam. I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos).

Farmers’ Market Favorites
I could hardly wait for today to finally get here. It’s opening day for our local Farmers’ Market. Every Wednesday and Saturday from now through October we will be buying our fresh produce from local farmers. I could hardly wait to get there, then I could hardly wait to leave so I could show off my bounty. Recipe inspiration came streaming through my mind as did recipes past where fresh vegetables transformed the dish. That’s when I decided to round-up all my Farmers’ Market Favorites in one post.

My Go-To Guacamole Recipe
Did you know that Guacamole is one of the most popular Super Bowl snacks?! Right up there with Chicken Wings! But it’s been around long before the big game ever took place. Guacamole dates back to the 1500’s and due to its nutritional value was a staple in the Aztec diet, although they called it āhuacamolli – which translated means “avocado sauce.”

New England Boiled Dinner {Corned Beef & Cabbage}
Growing up in beautiful New England was a blessing for so many reasons. The small town simple life made way for creativity and adventure. As kids we walked to school, rode our bikes to the lake, climbed ‘the mountain’ for fun, went to every Friday night basketball game, and loved our lobsters & chowders, grinders, maple syrup, and New England Boiled Dinners. Each year as we welcome in the Autumn season I think of soups and stews and pumpkins and foliage and New England.

Corned Beef Hash {with Poached Eggs}
Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs. Designed for breakfast, hearty enough for dinner, and really great leftover. One benefit of food blogging is that from time to time we have to make a dish more than once. Especially if it’s a holiday themed recipe that needs to get out ahead of time. That’s exactly what happened this year in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day…times three. Yes, we cooked three rounds of corned beef between March 6th and March 17th. One for my New England Boiled Dinner post, one for my office St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, and one for us to enjoy on St. Patty’s Day.

Red Flannel Hash {Sunday Brunch}
Red Flannel Hash might be characterized as New England Boiled Dinner‘s better half. As the story goes, no Boiled Dinner is officially over until the last of the red flannel hash is served. And since no boiled dinner has ever been eaten in just one sitting, this heavenly hash is the icing on the cake if you will.
