Farmer's Market Finds

From April-October we walk to the West Side Farmer's Market and the St. Paul Farmers Market (well, except for the weekend we were feeling lazy and drove) every weekend.  We change our entire meal-planning and grocery shopping to include fresh veggies as the staple of our food.  It is healthy and fun because each weekend is a different adventure! 



Here is our find from a few weeks ago!  Fresh cucumbers, garlic, green beans and salt wort (the best salad topping ever!).

It was fun to get creative with our $7 worth of produce!  We made cucumber and greenbean pickles, added some of the cukes and garlic to a homemade gazpacho and made a few tasty salads.
I will post some of my favorite pickling recipes soon!
