I am always happy when the Farmer’s Markets open back up again for the season (some are open all year round). Tonight’s dinner was almost 100% local. The potatoes were at least regional (from South Carolina). I love it! No recipes are needed when you start out with great fresh local food. Just a little [...]

Salmon with Lemon, Green Beans and Red Potatoes

This was a good recipe, not great though. If I make it again, I will zest the lemon instead of peeling, I think that will give it more lemon flavor. Or I would just squeeze lemon juice on top when the fish is done. It was a very easy way to make salmon, very little [...]
