And you can be hip too, when you pick some up at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market. I got this bunch from Singing Frogs Farm, a new vendor based in Sebastopol at the market. Fava is often planted as a cover crop to help restore nitrogen to the soil, but the leaves are quite delicious. And they are a heck of a lot easier to use tha...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1220262http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1220262Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:34:08 GMT Green Garlic is garlic that has been harvested before the garlic bulbs have time to mature. It is definitely a spring time only treat, and can be used however you use garlic. Find them all over the place right now at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market. I roasted these puppies and put them in simple quesadillas.   Roasted Green Garlic Quesadillas 1 bunch green garlic, rinsed and ...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1218564http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1218564Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:03:17 GMT Even if President George H. W. Bush is not a fan of broccoli, I am pretty sure he would not turn his nose up at this delicious dish I made with fresh broccoli from the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market.   Broccoli au Gratin 1 1/2 pounds broccoli 3 tblsp butter 3 tblsp flour 1/2 tsp salt a dash or two of Worchestershire sauce (optional) 1 1/2 cups warm milk 2/3 cup shredded cheese (...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1213318http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1213318Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:03:43 GMT One of the newest vendors at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market is Jane from The Handmade Pantry. Jane makes awesome seasoning mixes, salad dressing mixes, granolas, and more. These are made without weird chemicals that big food companies often put in their convenience foods. No MSG here! I used the Taco Seasoning mix to make my take on Shepherd's Pie. Yum!   Southwestern Shephe...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1218180http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1218180Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:13:39 GMT Beautiful rainbow chard is a wonderful, low-calorie source of vitamins K, A, and C.

And the first spring veggie is now at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market: asparagus! Whether you like thick spears or thin ones, grab a bunch or two and roast them in the oven for an amazing side dish/appetizer. I used roasted asparagus in this simple sandwich. I was trying to come up with a catchy name for it, like BLT, and my sister suggested ABC (for Asparagus, Bacon...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1202565http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1202565Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:49:22 GMT Spring is nearly here at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market, and you can tell by the pots of daffodils that are appearing in the stalls.

Tee hee! Chervil has a peppery, kind of fennel flavor. It's used often in French cooking, as a part of "fines herbs" and it goes great with eggs. I picked up a bunch of chervil from Triple T at the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market, and put them in this recipe for deviled eggs. I made a platter of them for my friend's pa...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1194911http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1194911Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:33:22 GMT Valentine's Day is this Sunday. It is officially time to PANIC. Just kidding, no need to panic, just head to the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market for loads of delicious chocolate. There is a new chocolate vendor at the market: Peter's Chocolates from Sebastopol. Doug Peters makes small batches of truffles and caramel turtles and wraps them in adorable pink and brown packages.

I picked up two bunches of beets, a golden one and a red one. I roasted them in aluminum foil, but I kept the golden ones separated from the red ones. After they were roasted, I peeled them, and then sliced them lengthwise to have a flat surface from which to cut little hearts. I have a few small cook...http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1192252http://www.froggy929.com/Cricket/SRFM/Channels/story.aspx?ID=1192252Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:39:17 GMT
