Summer Market – A Seasonal Veggie-Filled Meal Plan

This past weekend, we did a little Tour de Farmer’s Markets to prepare us for a seasonal summer market meal plan.  It was a blast, and I walked out with some incredible finds.  Shiitake and Oyster Mushrooms, Asparagus Beans (super-duper long green beans), Peruvian Purple Poatoes, and my favorite – Flavored Salts.   Adding to this bounty is our regular CSA box of fresh veggies.  So, yes, I better get slicing and dicing!

Wanna join me?  Let’s do this!
