Sampling my way through any local farmer’s markets happens to be one of my favorite things to do during the Summer. Well, heck – sampling food anytime of year is a favorite thing to do. But in the Summer nothing can compare to, tasting all the fresh goodness, smelling all the smells & then trying to decide how or what you’re going to cook with all your fresh produce.
I’ve said recently in a post, that I truly believe even though, some of these recipes are still “heavy” with calories, there’s something to be said about eating & cooking with fresh food. I feel so weighed down when I eat processed food. And I don’t need any help in that department, mind you!
Like all of you, I want a crowd pleaser for any & all recipes that I make – one that will make my “fresh” produce taste even better. Right now in Tennessee, it seems everything is in “season” and in trying to make the most of the fresh produce available, I decided to compile some of my favorites in a post of Farmer’s Market Recipes.
