Farmer's Market

Los Angeles is filled with Farmer's Markets all year round. It is such a gift to our community. It seems each section of the city has a farmer's market with local produce and products available every day of the week. Larchmont Village has one on Sunday mornings, Santa Monica has one Wednesday, two on Saturday and one on Sunday. There are many options in this town but one remains a fixed option very day of the week and it happens to be my favorite Los Angeles institution - The Farmer's Market at Fairfax and 3rd street.

I have to rave about the butcher at the Framer's Market. They are so kind and helpful. All their beef is antibiotic and hormone free and is the best we can get at lower prices than Whole Foods Market (right across the street). The poultry stand is equally as wonderful. They are so helpful. Today I got 8 chicken breasts halved and they pounded them out for me for chicken Picata and Chicken Marsala.

It's silly how exciting this is to me. I hope you love food as much as I do and enjoy a great Farmer's Market! Buy local and ENJOY!

  2. Hi Charles, there are several. Refer to my blog entitled "Single Man's Soup" for a super fast soup recipe. Also, if you like tuna, you can open a can of that, pour your favorite balsamic dressing or honey mustard dressing on it, mix it up and serve it over salad greens or in a rice tortilla with salad greens. If you are avoiding gluten, check your salad dressing for modified food starch (a thickener made of gluten). Also be careful of dressings with preservatives. Good brands are Newman's Own, Annie's or Brianne's salad dressings.
