Strawberries, Asian spinach, tomatoes, radicchio, lettuce, radishes, summer squash, zucchini, patty pan, red chard, onions, green beens, basil, garlic, and zucchini blossoms!It is Wednesday and true to my routine I went to the Worden Farm Farmer's Market. I look forward to this all week. I am able to go and get a whole pile of vegetables that are organic, in season, and grown locally for a very reasonable price. All of the food that you see about has cost me $39. This is food that will feed my family for a whole week! Yes I supplement it with other things like shrimp and chicken but the majority of our food is bought at the market. Pretty sweet deal huh?
Every week I buy one thing that I have never used before. This week it is the zucchini blossoms. They look so beautiful but I have never tasted them before so this should be fun! Last week it was the fennel which we cooked up last night.

Fresh fruits and veggies are the best!
I can't wait to see what wonderful recipes you come up with for all those great looking fruits and veggies. I know it all will be delicious. Good buys too!
Those squash blossoms want to be cheesy-stuffed and battered and fried! Then they want to be flown to my plate!
I love the market too! :)
It is amazing what you can get for the money! I actually am going to post an article about it - I did a little geeky study.
Best of luck on the Joust, Judy! Can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
Hi Jessy-they sure are great!
Hey ga.farmgirl-I am so loving the challenge of using these in a week! I think I can come up with some good stuff!
Hey Heather-I would have loved to have shared with you but they didn't last long enough! I just beer battered them and fried them. The great fresh taste of them still shone through!
Oh Jenn-I can't wait for your geeky study! I have actually gotten my grocery bill for a family of 4 down to, at the highest week, $80 a week???!!! And we don't eat out and I only buy sustainable, humanely raised and treated meats! I am currently work on a way to use this info to help the poor and needy.
