Show me a farmers market and I’ll show you authentic growers and artisans, folks who care about what we put in our bodies, lovingly making products by hand.

It only takes a few minutes to make this lemony, quick avocado salad, which tastes best with artisan olive oil bought from your local farmer’s market. The salad is a perfect side for a Sandwich Wednesday panini.

A pepper jelly slaw is born of a condiment compulsion.

If you saw my post about Sandwich Wednesday, you know that the Grill-Meister is also a whiz at panini-making. This recipe is so easy it hardly needs to be typed out, and so good that you should make it today.

Small Business Saturday is a great reminder to “buy local”. I’m off to the Farmer’s Market.
