Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

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?! Continue reading »

The next time you visit your local Farmers Market have this recipe in the back of your mind.

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

farmers market, vegetables

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.

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.

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. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »
