Jenny of Nourished Kitchen finished up a long day at the Crested Butte Farmers Market by joining the farmers market table at a local restaurant. Every ingredient served came from the morning market: salad with peas and mint, turnips and greens in broth, elk sausage with roasted onions, skewered beef with greens and roasted potato salad and fresh rainier cherries dressed in balsamic vinegar.

Ann at Green Leanings served a brunch of scrambled eggs (beautiful golden yolks!) with herbs from her garden, homemade whole wheat biscuits and fresh strawberries.  She’s exercising a new love of medieval cooking too.  You can view her full post here: One Local Summer - Week 4.
