As Spring starts to take a full swing, trips to the farmers market in the summer always come to mind. There is just something about getting produce and food almost directly from the source with the idea that this is about as fresh as it gets – unless you grow your own fruits and vegetables. Next time you are at the farmers market, try going without an agenda. Sure, go ahead and grab your staples, but also just take a look around and see what is available. These are the in season fruits and vegetables just waiting to get eaten. In this case, we are scooping up some strawberries and rhubarb and wiping up a weekend treat for you to try after your next visit to the farmer’s market. Check out our gluten-free Strawberry Rhubarb Scone recipe.
