Farmers Market Goodies!

The last couple of weeks my kids and I have been going crazy at the local farmers market! It's our new Saturday "tradition" and we've come away with some yummy goodies. I love all the fresh fruits and veggies as well is the fact that we're supporting local farmers/growers. Good stuff!


Spinach salad w/ fresh tomatoes, cukes and mozzarella

Bruschetta with fresh roma tomatoes. YUM :)

Super Basic Bruschetta Recipe:
Huge bowl (5 cups maybe?) of diced Roma tomatoes (I left seeds in)
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 tbs Balsamic Vinegar
1 heaping tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh chopped Basil


Bruschetta Gazpacho (Thanks Jason!!!!)


To make Bruschetta gazpacho:
Just blend chilled bruschetta and enjoy :)


Farmers Market Bounty

I'm absolutely tomato-crazy at the moment (if you couldn't tell!). I've got a bunch more tomatoes that need to be salsa and I'm debating trying to make my own tomato sauce. With my no sugar thing, I'm really having a hard time finding tomato sauces that are sugar free. So we will see... That's a whole new post though :)


What is your favorite fruit or veggie in season right now???
And more importantly....
Do you have any great recipes for tomatoes??
