Bluegrass Farmers Market

For the past two years, I have been a regular customer at the Bluegrass Farmers Market. Each Saturday morning, I spend time shopping at the market. Last spring, I discovered Swiss chard. This spring, asparagus has become a favorite. In the past, I usually would steam asparagus. Then, a friend shared a simple recipe for roasted asparagus. Yummy!
My grocery list: asparagus, strawberries, spinach, lettuce, flowers, potatoes… I had a bonus, one of the farmers shared a Strawberry Tossed Salad recipe. I used the recipe for tonight.
