My semi-weekly farmer’s market trip beget a lovely head of purple broccoli. I personally dislike most tree-like vegetables, but hubby likes them. So, the intrepid cook (that’s me) went on an internet hunt for good broccoli recipes. I found the following on a recipe:
“Cook the broccoli as directed on its packaging.”
Holy Crap! Packaging? Seriously?
You can see the entire recipe here:

BTW, I also found this ingredient:
“1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food, cubed”
Okay… I know that this is just Velveeta, but seriously? Yuck.
Still sounds appealing? The full recipe is here:

Here is a photo of some of the food I got at the Catonsville Farmers Market on a Wednesday in mid-August. The dark purple pods are okra. You can also see yellow and red peppers, corn on the cob, onions, peaches, beans, garlic and maybe some other kinds of produce.
The other photo is some of the August vine-ripened tomato harvest from our garden. So fresh and so good!
Click below for an awesome chocolate cookie recipe. I searched and couldn’t find a recipe for really rich and decedent chocolate cookies, so I developed this one. The texture has the best of both worlds – cookies and brownies. Enjoy!
The second page includes a chart of scoop/disher sizes. Ice cream scoops come in many sizes for a variety of applications. Who knew? Alton Brown recommends using a #20 disher to scoop his cookie dough onto the cookie sheets. I researched what that meant and gathered the info to share with you all.
I bought these colorful carrots at the Farmers Market few weeks ago. I served them with cheese ravioli.
The second photo shows them cut up so you can see the color was different on the inside.
These colorful beets from the Farmers Market were so pretty that I wanted to share them with you. This photo was taken just before stirring all of the ingredients. This will be my second batch of pickled beets. I am using the “Red Turnip Pickles” recipe from American Home Cooking. You can see it here: http://totallyrandomfiesta.blogspot.com/
