Spring Vegetable Soup celebrates the season’s fr

It time to show our love to an often overlooked winter farmers market staple, the sturdy (and you might say studly) cabbage. Even during the coldest months, cabbage makes a strong showing in a winter farmers market. While it is often overlooked, this versatile vegetable is packed with valuable vitamins and minerals and can sub into so many dishes depending on your mood (or desire). We shred red cabbage and enjoy raw in a salad with a light white vinegar vinaigrette, chopped parsley and roasted walnuts. Other times, we shred red and/or white cabbage and toss into a quick stir fry. (We add walnuts to that, too.) Even if we don't use our cabbage right away, it stays reliably sturdy and fresh in the fridge until you decide to show it some well deserved attention. Sturdy, reliable and there when you need it, what more can you ask for? It's time to show a little ♥️. #happyvalentinesday #cabbage #howiwinter #seasonaleating #inseasonnow #farmersmarket #farmtotable #eatlocal #farmfresh #eattherainbow #gloobyfood #farmtofork #feedfeed #f52farmstand #farmersmarketinspo #tastespotting #foodspotting #thekitchn #foodgawker #f52grams #huffposttaste #foodblogfeed #wholefoods #edibledc #vafoodie #insidevirginia #eatloco #vafarmersmarkets #vamarketstories

Beautiful options from the Saturday farmers market

Beautiful options from the Saturday farmers market. We stuffed the zucchini blossoms with goat cheese whisked with seasoned herb oil, then fried in a light batter for a luxurious start to a family lunch. First we shop, then we feast. 😋 #howisummer #familymeal #farmfresh #zucchiniflowers #farmtotable #markethaul #f52farmstand

Shiny hot peppers....they are just spectacular in the markets these days. I am throwing hot peppers into everything...sauteed with potatoes and eggs, onto the grill, or in a sauce for pasta. To us, they are the stars of the season right now. 💫🌶 #freshpeppers #hotpeppers #farmersmarket #markethaul

This was our Sunday family lunch @haaitza. We arrived earlier than check-in so we walked across the street for a family lunch at the hotel’s cafe. Although delicious, it wasn’t the finest meal of our journeys (that would be impossible to narrow down) but its simplicity and the opportunity to share the meal together as a family made it special. Roast garlic chicken with fresh green beans, salad and a plate of frites to share together. Relaxed, simple but chic and convivial in every sense. The hotel kindly rushed to ready our rooms but we could have stayed here all day. (A! 👌🏻 ❤️ 🇫🇷 #hotelhaaitza #haaitza #france #pylasurmer #arcachon #bassindarcachon #sundaysupper #travelwithteens #familytravel #familymeal

We took a ferry across the Bay of Arcachon to Cap Ferret, which is surrounded by oyster beds. We immediately rented bikes to tour the peninsula and visit the traditional oyster village, L’Herbe. #bassindarcachon #capferret #oysters #travelwithteens #familytravel

This is the perfect way to start a trip on the Bay

This is the perfect way to start a trip on the Bay of Arcachon. The bay hosts over 700 acres of oyster beds producing 8,000-10,000 oysters per year. We plan to view some oyster action tomorrow by bike. Today, we eat. #oysters #arcachon #france #pylasurmer #bassindarcachon

Green beans picked yesterday will be on our table tonight. I’m thinking of blanching with other vegetables from this weekend’s market and serving with an aioli for dipping. I just read a simple recipe in @bonappetitmag May issue. Great use of local farm fresh eggs, too! 👌🏻💕#farmersmarket #farmtotable #f52farmstand #bonappetit

One of my favorite aspects of shopping at the farm

One of my favorite aspects of shopping at the farmers market is the opportunity to talk to the farmers growing my food. I find much more comfort knowing what is and...more importantly...what is not sprayed on our fruits and vegetables. #farmersmarket #f52farmstand #eatlocal #talktoyourfarmer

Spinach Salad with a Strawberry-Rhubarb Vinaigrett

Spring greens are in full bloom at the farmers mar

Spring greens are in full bloom at the farmers market this week. So excited to find garlic scapes (far right). They are almost only available at the farmers market. I keep finding new ways to enjoy these gems and will share more ideas soon. I also found beautiful broccoli flowering sprouts that I plan to sauté with some chopped garlic scapes. Vegetables that grow together tend to taste great together, too. Nature works wonders in many ways. 🌱#farmersmarket #spring #f52farmstand #f52grams #vafarmersmarkets #visitvirginia #edibledc

The first strawberries I have enjoyed this season

The first strawberries I have enjoyed this season are not from the market but from the gorgeous vision of @begonamortonstudio at this year’s Great Falls Spring Art Fest. Spectacular! 🍓🤩 •••••#greatfallsva #strawberries #springtime #art #begonamorton #begonamortonstudio #oilpainting #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artwork #artist #instaart

This week at the market it’s all about the ramps

This week at the market it’s all about the ramps! Grab them while you can....their season is very short but, for me, their appearance marks the start of spring. Ramps are a delicate balance of garlic and spring onion and can be used in their entirety...leaves and bulbs. Chop and sauté to add to an omelette. Make a pesto in the blender by adding a handful of walnuts, olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper then thicken with some parm cheese. Or, char a bit on the grill just before serving as a side dish. The options are endless, their season is not. Enjoy while you can!🌱 ••••#ramps #spring #farmersmarket #restonfarmersmarket #virginiafarmersmarkets #eatlocal #shoplocal #familyandforks

Asparagus is here in all its beautiful shades....not just green. Market-fresh asparagus snaps crisply with a fresh grassy taste of spring. Its delicate nature makes it well paired with a simple sauce...melted butter with chopped garlic ...or if you are lucky to forage some ramps...finish with a squeeze of lemon and you have a delicate side dish that will pair with almost everything. 😋🌱. #asparagus #spring #farmersmarket #springishere #familyandforks
