To me, a Summer isn't quite a Summer without a trip to the local Farmer's Market. The smell of the fresh fruit, veggies and kettle corn is so enticing! When considering Summer HOSPITALITY, whether it be simple or gourmet, the farmer's market is a great place to stock up on fresh produce, blooming flowers, and freshly-made breads. You will want to incorporate these little treats into your weekly menu!
If you haven't tried fresh garlic, you will have to promise me you will at least try it. It is the best!
If you shop the farmer's market, do you have a special find???
Happy Thursday!
