I thought I would share with you some of the things I bought last week and how we used them at our house.
- Soaps ~ from Sagegold Soaps
- Green and Red Lettuce, Swiss Chard ~ from Crafton Farms.
Debbie Crafton does a great job with her veggies. You can find her next to the red food truck near the entrance of the market. Stop and chat awhile with her, she is a great lady!
Not only did we eat the obvious salads with our lettuce, we used the lettuce as wraps for our sausages, and hamburger patties. I sauteed up the Swiss Chard with Basque Chorizo and onions for a quick Sunday skillet meal.
- Onions, snap peas, asparagus, cilantro, apples, and garlic ~ from Bautista Farms.
We roasted the asparagus with garlic and olive oil. The apples and peas were great snacks for the boys, and the onion has been added in to many dishes.
- Applewood Cheese Sausages and Ground Sirloin ~ from Neiffer Triangle 4 Ranch.
but....
The star of that dinner was the sausages. They are made with a combination of pork and beef, all raised at Neiffer Ranch. Let me just say, the smoke ring on those babies was perfection. The sausage was sweet from the wood smoke and savory from the cheese. These will definitely be something we will make a staple menu item.
- (gifted) Honey Wheat Bread ~ from Great Harvest Bread Co.
- Roasted Corn on the Cob, Roasted Anaheim Peppers ~ from Fat Daddys.
What started as an impulse buy, will become a staple menu item for us. I intended for us to eat the corn at the market as a snack, but my boys were too busy playing all evening, that we ended up enjoying it when we got home. It was still warm and delicious. Adam's roasted peppers are..... well, just amazing. I love roasted peppers. I just don't love roasting them. I have to usually broil them and watch them like a hawk.... then I have to peel them and... well, it is just time consuming. Fat Daddys peppers were well priced and perfectly roasted. When I got them home I ran them under some cool water and the skin rinsed right down the drain. I air dried them for a bit and I have just pulled them out of the fridge to use in eggs or on salads all week. They have been a great time saver and flavor boost for our meals.
That is how our Market Meals worked out this week... How did you enjoy all the great stuff you brought home? What should I make sure I buy this week?
Maybe next week, I will remember to take pictures...
