Kirsten has a gig on Saturday at 1:00PM at BSP during the Kingston Farmers Market. Whilst going to the gig, no doubt she will stop by and pick up some beautiful produce from local farmers.  Quick ideas and easy recipes for local crops:

farmers market tomatoes

Quick idea No. 1: Mix chopped tomatoes and basil with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Spoon onto toasted baguette slices.
Quick idea No. 2: Cut green grape or cherry tomatoes in half and top with a half-teaspoon of fresh goat cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.

farmers market basil

Quick idea No. 1: Sprinkle chopped basil on slices of vine-ripened tomatoes. Serve with goat cheese and cured olives.
Quick idea No. 2: Toss cooked pasta with garlicky olive oil. While still hot, sprinkle liberally with chopped basil and grated parmesan cheese.

farmers market peaches

Quick idea No. 1: Blend a peach or nectarine with vanilla yogurt, ½ cup frozen banana pieces, a few mint leaves, and honey to taste.

Quick idea No. 2: Halve peaches, sprinkle with sugar, and roast face up until lightly brown. Serve with ice cream, panna cotta, or whipped cream.
