Pattypan!

Okay, so the chaos of coming home from vacation is beginning to wear off, and I had the opportunity today to go to the local (Plymouth) Farmer's Market. Yay for having food in the house other than camping food! LOL. I picked up quite a few veggies for $10. For dinner tonight we had chicken grilled on the Foreman Grill (not Farmer's Market fare) with lemon juice and rosemary, a salad of fresh greens with kohlrabi slivers, and my new favorite vegetable, Pattypan squash! After a little research on the internet, I decided to try it baked with salt, pepper and crushed garlic. I sliced them fairly thin and baked them for 20 minutes at 425. Ooooh yummers!

So the lesson for today is, always try something new! I've always passed up those pattypan squash because I had no idea how to cook it, but 5 minutes on Google, and I have a new favorite!

Chicken - $ 2.40 for two servings
Seasonings from spice cupboard - $0
Pattypan Squash - $1.00 for 2
Kohlrabi - $2 for 3 HUGE ones (anyone know any good Kohlrabi recipes?)
Fresh lettuce - $2 (half the bag made two yummy salads!)
Delicious healthy meal after an afternoon of shopping with the hunny - PRICELESS! :)

What are your latest farmers market finds? Please share!  :)
