\"\"<\/a>Hi gang!\u00a0 We were finally able to make it back to the Hilliard Farmer’s Market this week!\u00a0 I would love to go every week but for our schedule it is sort of at a bad time.\u00a0 If it started one hour earlier it would be perfect!<\/p>\n

There was a two new booths this week, Oink, Moo, and Cluck<\/a> and Blue Jacket Creamery<\/a>. OMC were also grilling while we were there!\u00a0 We were not looking for meat purchases though so we didn’t make it down that far.\u00a0 I wanted to try some cheese from Blue Jacket but a parent wasn’t paying attention to her kids that were going back to the samples multiple times with the same toothpick.\u00a0 Um, so yeah, I didn’t get to test taste much.\u00a0 I did some try of their Grillin’ Cheese, which is cheese you can slice and fry up!\u00a0 It was yummy! Sort of salty and totally chewy cheesy goodness.<\/p>\n

I saw lots of berries this time around, along with peaches, and corn!\u00a0 Hooray for sweet summer corn!<\/p>\n

So my purchases this week included:<\/p>\n

Raspberries and corn from Rhoads Farm<\/a> along with tomatoes and zucchini from Wishwell Farms<\/a>.\u00a0 I was going to get blueberries but just missed those! When I got back to the booth, they had sold the last batch.\u00a0 Booo<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had some very tart and juicy raspberries this morning with my morning overnight oats.\u00a0 Perfect fuel for post run!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Scott had a lovely BLT for lunch with the tomatoes and also some local bacon as well.<\/p>\n

I had my BLT with a bit more roughage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In salad form with a ton of chopped veggies, a few seeds for crunch and fiber, and topped with balsamic and olive oil.<\/p>\n

Dinner tonight will be made with the corn and tomatoes.\u00a0 It will look very similar to this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In fact it will be totally identical! A lovely black bean and corn wrap! With lots of veggies, hot sauce, guacamole, and “sour cream” (greek yogurt).\u00a0 I already can’t wait to dig in!<\/p>\n

Here’s my OHC PSA:\u00a0 Support your local farmers and get out to the Farmer’s Markets!\u00a0 Not only are you supporting your neighbors and your state, but you will know where your food is coming from.\u00a0 Knowledge is power!\u00a0 Curious to where some are?\u00a0 Here’s a small (because there is a ton!) list to get you started:<\/p>\n

Weekend Farmer’s Markets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Market <\/a>on Saturday mornings (get there early, it’s popular!)<\/p>\n

Clintonville<\/a> Saturdays, 9am-Noon<\/p>\n

Worthington<\/a> Saturdays, 9am-Noon<\/p>\n

Mid-Week Markets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hilliard<\/a> on Tuesdays from 4-7pm down on Main Street in Old Hilliard.\u00a0 Right at the entrance to Rails to Trails<\/p>\n

Dublin<\/a> on Wednesdays from 4-7pm on Bridge St. in the parking lot of the Dublin Community Church<\/p>\n

Mid-Week markets are very handy because not everyone can make a market during the weekend.\u00a0 Mid-Week gives you access to things you might otherwise be missing out on!<\/p>\n

\n

I’m now going to direct your attention to a fellow blogger, Brandi of Branappetite<\/a>!\u00a0 Brandi is cute as a button and one of the nicest people you will ever meet.\u00a0 We got a very brief chance to chat last year at the Foodbuzz Festival<\/a> and hopefully we’ll get a chance to connect again sometime.\u00a0 She is starting a series on her blog called Scratch Made<\/em> which features recipes and instructions on how to make things at home from scratch!\u00a0 The goal is to show you how easy it is to make things yourself using wholesome healthy ingredients.\u00a0 It also fits in perfectly with my Homespun Sundays<\/a>!\u00a0 Her first post is up, check it out<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Also, it just might give you some ideas of what you can do with all the new stuff you just purchased from your local farmer’s market!\u00a0 Get in the kitchen guys because who knows what great things you can make from scratch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
