Summer Farmer’s Markets

So it begins! School is out. Summer plans begin and I faced my first set of summer challenges over this past Memorial Day weekend. Summer eating! In my world, there are two paths… One path is  hot dogs and hamburgers and the other path is all the fresh stuff.  It is so easy to clean over the summer.   There are tons of farmers markets; from European market to Valpo’s Tuesday Farmers markets and even the You Pick places.  These are great places to grab fresh local ingredients to make amazing delicious meals. So why did I choose that juicy hamburger this past weekend? Well, I wanted it! And here is the thing. It is ok! But the idea is make good choices. I could have chosen fries and opted for a healthier side option. The next day, we went to the farmers market and got fresh veggies. We grilled peppers, made some fish and had amazing fish tacos with fresh salsa.  So it does take some discipline to make those right choices. But here is what I need from you.  I get bored of the same stuff. So I am looking to YOU for your farmers markets favorites. What items are your go to’s? What do you do with them? Feel free to post and tag us!

Cheers to eating clean and fresh this summer!
