The Halifax Seaport Farmer's Market challenged the local food bloggers to create an original recipe using only ingredients sourced at the market (with a few exceptions). Its been a lot of fun entertaining the possibilities. Creating delicious meals inspired by the beautiful food I discover at farmers markets is one of my favorite things to do. With visions of local fiddleheads, asparagus, and rhubarb dancing in my head, I considered interesting ways I might celebrate spring's early bounty.



in the end, I decided to follow the leads of my fellow bloggers Jessie at Purple House Cafe, and Brianna at Vessel and shop with an open mind, let the ingredients speak to me, as it were. I was seduced by the bacon, how do you resist Garrison Sugarmoon maple bacon? Next came the discovery of goat milk ricotta, pretty purple potatoes, elegant skinny green leeks, soon my basket was full, and I had a plan.
