Produce

It's the middle of summer and fruits and vegetables are bountiful. Went to the farmer's market this past weekend and bought some produce. The peaches were about 2 lbs. each and amazing. Sweet, juicy and oh so succulent. Oh, I'm drooling just thinking about them. Then there were the tomatos. Ripe, flavorful and robust. I also got a stick of walnut bagget. Crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside with just a bit of nutty crunch. Fresh mushrooms, fresh crunchy and sweet wax beans, interesting lemon cucumbers ... Colors, juicy, sweetness, flavors!

I got inspired by all that summer has to offer and decided to order me a produce box. These are grown by local farms and there are weekly varieties to fill a box of produce (fruits, vegetables and herb). I should be getting my very first (small) box today. The selection is supposed to be heirloom tomatos, cucumber, red flame grapes, galia melon, basil, and potatos. I can't wait!
