5 Star Makeover Roundup: Farmers' Market


A trip to a local Farmers' Market is always a terrific source of inspiration, especially in the summer when fruits and vegetables are in abundance. The challenge for our 5 Star Makeover group for the months of June and July was to create a gourmet dish with all Farmer's Market ingredients. We have come up with excellent creations, so please check them out below and click on the title links to see more details and the recipe for each dish. I'd like to thank everyone in the group and my co-host Lazaro for all their hard work on this event.
