Tuesday Top Five: "And on that farm..."
Apr. 22nd, 2025 07:03 amIt's almost farmer's market season in my part of the world! Here are some of the fruits and veggies that I'm looking forward to buying this summer.
1. Berries! Raspberries are probably my very favorite, but I also love blueberries, blackberries, strawberries… I put them in oatmeal and sometimes in pies or muffins.
2. Peaches! They’re also great in cereal and pies, sometimes in combination with any of the berries.
3. Asparagus! I occasionally roast it to toss with pasta but use it more often in a stir fry.
4. Red and green peppers! These are also fine stir-fry or curry ingredients, though I also like to mix them into other rice dishes: with coconut and chili and lime, or with cheese and salsa and chicken.
5. Diva cucumbers! Those are the tiny seedless ones. Last summer, I sliced one up to include in my lunch at least once a week; alternatively, they’re another great addition to cold rice dishes (I add shredded carrots, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and some kind of protein).
