Simple Summer Supper: Farmer’s Market Finds

What if you put together all the best Farmer’s Market Finds of the week and created a Simple Summer Supper?

Make a Meal from Farmer’s Market Finds!

The Farmer’s Market in our town opens for two hours every Thursday evening through the summer. Sometimes I run downtown on Thursdays and grab a few favorites, then take it all home to serve immediately for our dinner. We can make a great meal this way, with very little effort or money!

Is it weird to make a meal without any meat? I used to think so. But now we are perfectly happy to eat a meal of buttered corn on the cob, sliced watermelon, fried zucchini, and fresh peaches with cream.

Come to think of it, sometimes there’s a booth set up at our Farmers Market that sells fun meat sticks or kielbasa. Those go great with any of the fresh fruits and veggies we can pick up. It makes a great meal without any trouble. And it sure doesn’t get any fresher than this! (Unless we pick it from our own garden, of course!)

And this, my friends, is today’s Simple Summer Supper tip. Go to your local Farmer’s Market and pick up food to serve for a meal or two. Take your kids and let them pick their favorites! It’ll be fun, simple, delicious, and highly nutritious.

    One of my favorite dishes in the summer as a kid was a simple veggie saute or casserole that my mom would make using ingredients from our garden:
    2-3 zucchini or yellow squash
    1 onion
    2-3 tomatoes
    ~1 c corn cut off the cob
    2 cloves garlic
    basil
    salt and pepper

    you can cut into slices or into bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference. I like to just slice and saute the above in 1-2T olive oil. My mom often cuts into bigger pieces and sautes the veggies and then mixes in some cheddar cheese in a casserole dish and tops with bread crumbs or pieces of bread and bakes at 350* until bubbly (20 minutes or so),
