Farmer's Market Day

I am tickled pink that a farmer's market has opened walking distance from my home.  I always think of my daughter when I stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables.  There have been times when we stop at a fruit stand on the way home from Napa and can barely shut the doors there is so much produce in our car.  This photograph is for you Mrs. C!

The Joy of Farmers Markets

Today I went to a new farmers market in my neighborhood that I can walk to! It was so wonderful to have fresh local produce and delicious other goodies. I bought a dozen fresh eggs that are so beautiful - they are light blue, green, and tan shells.  I bought some snap peas, butter lettuce, and basil.  Can't wait to whip up some meals with my yummy finds.  The photos are from Little Brown Pen - in France of course!  Any suggestions out there on a recipe that uses fresh peas?  I am so excited to be able to walk to a farmers market.  I love Portland!
