Pick of the Week: Sugar Snap PeasWe love the satisfying crunch of a sugar snap pea! These tasty green pods are high in both fiber and folic acid, and have a satisfying sweetness that is hard to beat. You can enjoy them dipped in some delicious hummus or pesto, or sauté them with onion, lemon juice and mint for a bright side to your dinner. Check out AJ of Taylor’s Happy Oaks Farm’s beautiful peas on Tuesday or Saturday this week! |

Recipe of the WeekTurn up dinner this week with this delicious turnip recipe. The cooler weather has kept us in turnips a little longer this year, so enjoy them while you can! This recipe calls for aged cheddar or asiago, both of which you can get from Ryals Rocking R Dairy. Look for turnips from many of our wonderful produce vendors. |
