Brussels and Bowties #FarmersMarketWeek

Bowtie pasta tossed with fresh herbs and sauteed brussels sprouts is a perfect, seasonal Meatless Monday meal.  

Brussels and Bowties

We are celebrating Farmer's Markets with the Festive Foodies all week long......

Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures  invited the Festive Foodies to join them in this fun adventure.  

Attending Farmer's Markets is one of my favorite seasonal activities.  I am very jealous of those who live in areas that can have Farmer's Markets year round.  Here in Michigan they run from the end of May until mid October and then we have to wait the whole loooong winter time to get our Farmer's Market fix.

Farmer’s Market Week is always the first week in August. Whether you have a great local farm stand or market, are a member of a CSA or purchase your fruits and vegetables at the supermarket, follow our Pinterest board, for great recipes including those for appetizers, drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and more.

When you make your trip, be sure to stop by the herb stand for some fresh thyme and basil. You also want to pick up some onions and garlic along with brussels sprouts and mushrooms.  If there is a dairy stand with swiss or gruyere cheese you want to grab that along with parmesan if they have it.  My Farmer's markets stick with local product so while I might find some swiss cheese chances are slim that I will find parmesan.  Luckily, I had some in my refrigerator.
