While Satsuma season may be coming to a slow end, citrus season is still in full swing. Grapefruit are gracing the tables of our 3 citrus vendors and market staff can't get enough! Grapefruit are versatile, delicious and obscenely nutritious, with potassium, vitamins, and fiber. Mix it into a cocktail, add slices to salad, use it in a glaze for pork, or enjoy it for breakfast. ******************************************************************************** TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL We are really excited to welcome Tulane's Hillel's Kitchen to market to kick off 2014. Since 2011, Hillel's Kitchen has provided delicious, organic, locally sourced meals to hungry New Orleanians. A dairy-free kosher restaurant, the kitchen has a dedicated in-house baker, a brand new juice bar, and the capability to cater events both large and small. Located at 912 Broadway St. This week's menu includes your choice of falafel, chicken shwarma, or a warm tomato soup. Looking for something sweet? Hillel's Kitchen will have hot chocolate and various pastries to enjoy. Did you know that Tulane and Loyola students, faculty, and staff can catch a free shuttle to our market location? http://tulane.edu/universityservices/transportation/ ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK Fight the chill and the seasonal cold with this delicious broiled grapefruit recipe, highlighting the tart sweetness of these winter treats. Adding Louisiana raw sugar keeps this totally local. Off the sugar this year? Try agave nectar or honey instead. Grapefruit are gracing the tables of our wonderful Plaquemines Parish vendors, so stock up at market to serve this handy breakfast, snack, or dessert ready whenever the fancy strikes! http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday January 7 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday January 9 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday January 11 | 8 am - noon ******************************************************************************** MARKETEERS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=marketeers-club PURCHASE OPTIONS AT THE MARKET http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=purchase-options MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org/ DONATE http://www.marketumbrella.org/market/support_us.html ******************************************************************************** LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crescent-City-Farmers-Market/12780011170 FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/ccfmtweets TAKE A LOOK ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/crescentcityfarmersmkt
