    This really looks like spring! I am always on the hunt for rhubarb for my husband’s seasonal pie.

      I think I saw some rhubarb last time I hit the market but for some reason I didn’t buy any. It would have been great in the strawberry jam! Thanks for stopping by Liz! Hope you had a great birthday.

      For a minute while I wrote this, I stopped and imagined that my farmers’ market was half as lovely as yours :-) . But I’m not complaining, access to one twice a week, small or not, is fantastic!

    Looks delish. Too tired to make today.Been working outside mostly at the pool which has something wrong with it every time I check it. Today a clamp came off the hose so did a quick stop at Leslies. All fixed I hope. But I will get some of the ingredients next time and try it.

      yes – you should try this – you don’t have to follow the recipe word for word – just follow the basic idea using what you have on hand. And you can make extra for lunch the next day or another dinner.

    Such a bright, colorful dish, Beth – just bursting with flavor! What a celebration of spring you created. I agree, strolling through the market is the best inspiration. I am crazy about berries, so I pounce on flats when I see them. But really, I love all of the spring and summer bounty…my husband jokes that I just bring him along to carry the loot!

      Always great to see your avatar in my comments Deb. So looking forward to meeting you in person. And isn’t it always exciting when the spring and summer harvest start appearing? It never really gets repetitive does it?

    It looks so yummy! Nothing is yummier than fresh produce from the farmers’ market. Can’t wait until they start opening in our area. We live in Utah, so it’s very seasonal around here.

    Thanks for sharing. Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

      When will the markets open in your area? Mid May? Hope it is warming up and starting to feel like spring and summer! Thanks for coming by.

    It’s one of my favorite warm weather dishes – pasta with some sort of cheese, peas and other veggies. My mouth is literally watering as I read this and I am about to leave for Trader Joe’s..pancetta on the list!

      Great – hope you found the short-cut pre-chopped pancetta and enjoy some pasta this weekend. Let me know how it turns out!
