Tuscan Minestrone Soup
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
Some of the best Tuscan recipes were once simply known as peasant food in Italy. One of my favorite Tuscan dishes when I was living in Florence, Italy was Ribollita.

Thursday, July 4th, 2013

In addition to making some exciting baked goods, they are also serving lunches. When I first started going I always wanted to get something that included a gluten-free-alternative focus like their […]

The Santa Fe Farmers Market has been chock full of sweet peas, sugar snap peas and english peas in the past few weeks. The abundance has been inspiring to say the least, and I have been consuming lots and lots of peas! I have not had Sweet Pea Hummus in a few years but I […]

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes with White Truffle Oil
Monday, March 28th, 2011
I know that Rosemary Roasted Potatoes are not necessarily a springtime dish, but spring is also known as Primavera, which in Italian translates to the first truth. So, since it is the time of truth, I will tell you that this recipe for Rosemary Roasted Potatoes came about because my Rosemary Christmas Tree was dying. […]

Some vendors are no longer there, and almost all of them have moved inside to stay warm during the early morning hours of the market. Once you arrive inside though, you realize that these farmers still have a great deal of […]
