One of my top ten favorite things in the world: going to the farmer's market on Saturday morning and making food for the day with freshly bought foods.
Today for our July 4th meal I made:
1) Thai quinoa salad, recipe below. Such a pretty mix of colors, and I cooked the quinoa in a mix of vegetable broth and light coconut milk and the coconut really complemented the fish sauce and lime. M absolutely loved it, fish sauce and all.

2) This delicious marinade for chicken and tofu skewers; the spices were amazing:

3)And veggie sliders made from chickpeas, from a friend's facebook recipe, which I've just prepared but haven't eaten yet so unclear how my execution of the recipe will be, but looking forward to it.
I love cheap farmer's markets on crisp weekend mornings, especially REAL weekend mornings where I'm not working, just SUMMERING. Happy fourth of July!
