farmers market haul

i love texas in the spring. my absolute favorite place, bright and early
on a saturday morning, has to be the cowtown farmers market.

i was so excited to get there this morning i almost forgot all of my bags. i'm a big proponent of eating locally for supporting our farmers and local economy, but even more so because i know where the food is coming from. knowing that these farms are within 30 minutes to a couple of hours from my house ensures the freshness of the food i'm putting in my recipes. Today's haul includes napa cabbage, kale, watermelon radishes, tomatoes, baby artichokes, two kinds of asparagus, strawberries, leaf lettuce, thyme, torpedo onions, bulb onion, ramps and beets! and baby carrots! i almost forgot them. i'll let the pictures do the talking. so yummy..get out to your farmers markets - it's a fun family outing and just as easy as the store..promise. happy spring!
