farmers market haul and what i made this past week!
either i’m shopping for myself or for my events, i’m always building a menu around what is the freshest and locally available at any given time.
of course, i still source items that are convenient and perhaps not local (i love a good girl dinner / snack plate) but whenever i can source locally first, i’ll always try to do so!
this past week, i purchased all of these from the :
- (microgreens, cilantro, lettuce, kale, basil)
- évangeline apples
- bread
- carrots & onions
- potatoes
- .meat sirloin steak, chicken thighs, bacon
- maple syrup + dry beans
- arugula & spinach
- joe caissie seafood shrimps & haddock
- degenhardt’s german sausages & eggs
- ferme du diamant duck fat
- larry’s peanut butter
- le champ doré whole wheat flour
and here’s what i made so far:
- snack plate (w. evangeline apples)
- steak & eggs breakfast (sirloin steak, eggs, sautéed spinach, duck fat roasted potatoes)
- post-workout snack (toast with peanut butter, évangeline apple)
- soup for lunch at work (sausage, potatoes, kale, bacon, beans, onions)
- salad (mixed greens, évangeline apples, shaved honey + oregano manchego from , sliced almonds, arugula)
i’m planing on using the rest of my proteins for korean bbq chicken rice bowls (with pickled carrots), and haddock + shrimps in a chowder, alongside the rest of the potatoes. i might make a loaf of bread or foccacia using the local whole wheat flour!
let me know your thoughts on this format: i’m thinking of starting to share weekly farmers market haul + ideas of what you can make with said seasonal products!
would love to hear your thoughts so we can all support local farmers & makers more in 2026. 🫶🏼❤️💐
