At Local Roots May 4-7

It's May! I know, it's still a little chilly out, but the world is definitely greening up -- and a new growing season is on the way!

Here's what you'll find on my shelves at Local Roots Market this week:

--Baguettes and boules (part whole wheat)
--Basil pesto flatbread
--Cheese crackers (both cheddar and pepper jack)
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-dill, cheddar-green garlic, chèvre-rosemary, feta-oregano, and Lock 21-peppercorn
--Cinnamon-pecan bread
--Garlic-herb bread
--Homestyle rye bread
--Honey spelt oat bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Pizza crusts
--Pumpernickel bread
--Sandwich buns
--Sesame thins
--Spelt bread
--Tea rings (some with pecans)
--Zaatar flatbread

In the bakery case, you have two options (so far!) for vegetable rolls:

--Coconut curry rolls are back Wednesday only, with Asian greens from Por-Bar Farms, spinach from Adonai Acres, pac choi from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm, green onions from The Shepherd's Market, and sunflower oil from Sunsations. (Vegan)

--Spinach feta rolls, a perennial favorite, return, with a spinach mix from Por-Bar Farms, garlic from Karen's Garden Delights, feta cheese from Lucky Penny Creamery, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Also in the bakery case, espresso chip shortbread is back! Local wheat and buckwheat flour provide the grainy texture of this very buttery, chocolate- and coffee-laced treat that's not too sweet.

And Happy Mother's Day to you all!
