Just about every weekend we visit our local farmer’s market – and as much as I love coming home with truly fresh produce (and flowers!), I almost always come home with the same thing weekend after weekend. Lately, I’ve been inspired by Katy’s CSA adventures to try out some veggies that aren’t part of our regular menu.
So, this weekend we came home with:
{squash blossoms}
{purple cauliflower!}
{kale}
For the squash blossoms, I’m thinking about going with Alyson’s yummy-looking recipe – and I’m thinking I’ll probably sautée the kale… but I’m still on the lookout for a good recipe for purple cauliflower. Anyone have any suggestions?

the cauliflower is beautiful! such a potent purple. i’ve never seen anything like it.
I love purple cauliflower. Hmm what to do? So many options. I have to think.
Thanks for the link. I’m going to try making beet soup today with my CSA beets!
I’ve never seen purple cauliflower! Does it lose it colour on cooking?
Too exciting. It may actually make me want to eat a floret or two!
oh I’m jealous! I think the squash blossoms are long gone from our farmer’s markets… I haven’t seen them in weeks. let me know how they turn out!
