I’ve been traveling in the Pacific Northwest over the past few weeks, but missing my blog a bit lately.

Here are a few highlights from my trip – some photos taken at the downtown Portland, Oregon farmer’s market, a place so full of fresh, pristine produce it makes my heart beat a bit faster. It’s not very often that I see such a huge array of locally grown, green leafy vegetables and ripe summer fruits like cherries, berries, plums and tomatoes.

It’s hard not to want to take a little bit of everything home!

Happy Summer…I’ll be back soon with more recipes.
