At the Market March 2-5

Can you feel a breath of springtime in the air? It's been a wild and wooly sort of weather week, but life is returning, and it won't be long before I'm planting this year's garden (with the hopes of raising more of the produce I'll use in baking).

Gardening classes have begun at Local Roots Market, and the place is hopping with spring fever-type excitement. Have you stopped by lately?

Here's what I'll have on my shelves at Local Roots this week:

--Coconut curry vegetable rolls: Only one vegetable roll flavor this week, but it's a good one, combining pac choi and arugula from Breezy Hill Farm with onion from Moonstruck Farm, organic coconut milk, curry powder, ginger, red pepper flakes, and tamari. Completely vegan, completely delicious!

On Saturday, March 5, stop by Local Roots for my fundraiser breakfast, with all donations going toward the new restrooms at the market. I'll start with Russian buckwheat blini, a traditional food made during this "Butter Week" leading up to Ash Wednesday. When those run out, I'll switch over to scrambled French toast. Both dishes will be loaded with lots of different Local Roots products and served up with even more. Don't miss it!

Get ready for spring!

New Treats for Woo's Brews!

I delivered fresh croissants (plain and almond) and scones (lemon-ginger and orange-mint-chip) to Woo's Brews earlier this week, but I had the feeling I might just get an urge to try something new. So today I'm delivering some sweet treats:


--Orange-walnut blondies: This is a new recipe for my repertoire, taking a simple brown-sugar blondie recipe and adding fresh orange juice and zest as well as walnuts. If these don't chase away the winter blues, what will?


--Cinnamon brownies: Maybe chocolate is more your speed. If so, these rich and densely chocolatey brownies laced liberally with cinnamon (inside and out!) might just warm your heart and your stomach.

--Espresso chip shortbread: Always a favorite at Local Roots, this buttery shortbread jazzed up with brewed coffee, bittersweet chocolate chips, and maple syrup is now also available at Woo's Brews.

Stop in and try something new!

At the Market December 29-31

At the Market December 15-18

Brrrr! It's definitely cold outside, which makes me very glad to bake every morning to take the chill off!

I'm adjusting the bread baking schedule slightly based on shopping trends -- I'd like to have the bread that you find on my shelves be as fresh as possible, but I also know that I can't bake everything every day. So please be patient while I work out the schedule (and let me know what you're looking for!).

Here's the planned "menu" for this week:

--Artisan wheat bread
--Baklava
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-basil (?), cheddar-dill, Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Miami Erie Canal (Swiss-style from Canal Junction) with parsley
--Cinnamon-pecan bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Pumpernickel bread
--Rosemary cider bread
--Rosemary walnuts
--Savory apple flatbread
--Sesame thins
--Sunshine cookies
--Zaatar flatbread

I'll continue to have baklava in the bakery case to the end of the month, though I may not have much else on offer in the sweets category -- there are plenty of other good sweet selections in the bakery!

This week's rolls offer something a little different:

--Swiss cabbage: I've sauteed cabbage from Weavers' Truck Patch with homegrown onions, homegrown dill, and paprika, then added shredded Swiss cheese from Heritage Grass Farms. The result is something that should warm your stomach on a cold day!

--Moroccan carrot: Carrots from Martha's Farm and Boii Gardens combine with red onion, lemon juice, honey, home-dried parsley, cumin, cayenne pepper, and creamy Lucky Penny Creamery chèvre for an exotic taste. Enjoy one for lunch or splurge and take a few home to go with lentil stew.

Don't forget that this Saturday, December 18, is the last Artisan Day of the year at Local Roots. If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping, this is the place to go!

And if you're looking for a special treat for your Christmas feast or New Year's party, I'm still taking special orders through this Saturday. Last chance!

At the Market December 8-11

Don't forget, this Saturday, December 11, is also Artisan Day at Local Roots -- your chance to find wonderful locally-crafted gifts for the holidays. (That's where I did most of my shopping!) And Saturday at 7:30 PM, the market is also hosting a Holiday Waltz. Be there!

And stay warm!

At the Market December 1-4

Here we are, the first day of the last month of the year, and a light dusting of snow greets us as December dawns. Are you ready for winter?

I hope to have these at Local Roots today through Friday, but I expect to test one or two new combinations yet this week. Stay tuned!

The wind howled around my windows this morning, and it sounded an awful lot like winter. I know we still have a month to go before that officially happens, but in the meantime, I'm happy to crank up the oven and bake away the chill.

That, of course, translates into good bread and other delicious delights for you to find at Local Roots!:

--Spinach-feta rolls: The original vegetable-cheese roll is back, with spinach from Breezy Hill Farm and Adonai Acres, golden onions, and feta cheese from Lucky Penny.

In addition, I'll have two sweet treats in the bakery case:

--Baklava (now in slightly larger squares)
--Chai spice shortbread: buttery crisp cookies laced with ground cardamom and cinnamon as well as bits of crystallized ginger -- perfect for tea time or your morning coffee break!

On Saturday, I may well reprise last week's surprise success of pear-chèvre rolls -- a sweet version of the popular rolls using Lucky Penny chèvre mixed with Simple Products' pumpkin and spice syrup and chopped walnuts, with slices of dried pear (from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm) for a concentrated burst of fall fruit.

Don't forget, if you're interested in placing a special order for Thanksgiving, pick up a brochure at the market and contact me by this Saturday, November 20. The orders are piling up, and I won't be able to fill many more!

Enjoy!

At the Market November 3-6

Did you know that Local Roots Market is now open Wednesdays? That's right, the market is open four days a week -- quite a far cry from our one-day-a-week farmers' market one year ago! We are rockin'! Hours are now Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 11 AM to 7 PM and Saturdays 9 AM to 3 PM. You have no excuse not to make it there!

Besides, where else will you find all these delicious baked goods?

--Savory apple flatbread
--Sesame thins

In addition, you'll find plenty of sweet and savory goodness in the bakery case:

--Candied ginger cardamom bars: I've enjoyed these sweet morsels the past few years from a friend's Christmas cookie packages, and she graciously shared the recipe with me. They blend freshly milled wheat flour from Stutzman Farms with Hartzler Family Dairy butter, Shepherd's Market egg, and the exotic sweet spices of ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. (NOTE: These will also be available by special order for the holidays!)

--Cheddar cauliflower rolls: A repeat of last week's favorite, these rolls combine "Cheddar" cauliflower from Weaver's Truck Patch with kale from Autumn Harvest Farm and dill cheddar curds from Blue Jacket Dairy.

--Spicy Thai pac choi rolls: If you love Thai food with its spicy peanut sauce, give these a try. Combining pac choi from Martha's Farm and Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm, carrots from Martha's, hot pepper from Boii Gardens, garlic, and peanut sauce made from Sherry's Classic Cuisine peanut butter, these savory rolls already have my mouth watering!

Stop by the market this week and see what you've been missing!

Pear-Date Bars

Now that my camera software is reloaded, I finally have photos to share! Here's a sneak preview for this week's pear-date bars (available at Local Roots):


The base is a simple blend of local oats, local whole wheat flour, unsalted butter, maple sugar, salt, and secret spices.


For the filling, I cooked together chopped dates and fresh pears from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm with enough water to make it a little creamy.


Add a little oat-maple streusel on top, bake, and there you have it -- not too sweet, but full of good fall flavors.

What are you waiting for?

At the Market September 9-11

Good news! The computer problems have been resolved, so there should be no difficulty in posting weekly product updates from here on out. (Fingers crossed!) I don't have my camera software reloaded yet, but photos will return soon, I promise.

That said, here's what I plan to have at Local Roots this weekend (starred items available starting Thursday):

--Artisan wheat bread*
--Basil pesto flatbread*
--Cheese crackers*
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: chèvre-rosemary*, cheddar-dill*, Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, Miami (Swiss-style from Canal Junction) with parsley, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn

You'll find two kinds of vegetable-cheese rolls in the bakery case, too:

--Tomatillo salsa! A big hit at our Salsa Party a couple weeks ago, I've brought back these rolls featuring Adonai Acres tomatillos, Banzhaf Garten tomatoes, Adonai Acres onion, and Ohio Farm Direct pepper jack cheese. Spicy, but so good!
--Chard raisin: Homegrown chard meets savory browned onions, sweet home-dried raisins (from local Reliance grapes), a splash of balsamic vinegar, and the creamy tanginess of Lock 21, a Brie-style cheese from our favorite, Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese.

And as an added treat, pear-date bars return in the bakery case! These buttery, oat-laden squares thick with pears from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm and sweet dates sold out at last week's market, and I can take a hint -- I'm making more.

On the herb tea front, I'm all out of Lavender Lemonade for now (possibly for the summer) and have limited quantities of Lemon Mellow and Midsummer's Dream left. I'll be testing some fall and winter blends soon and hope to have those at the market before the nip in the air gets to be too constant. Will let you know what results!

Hope to see you at Local Roots this weekend!

Surprise!

I decided to make an extra-special something for the bakery case at Local Roots this weekend:


Introducing: chocolate truffle surprise cookies!

This is a recipe I developed a number of years ago, using a shortbread-like dark chocolate dough and wrapping it around fresh wildcrafted black raspberries. These may look like soft chocolate truffles, but there's a solid bite before you get to the sweet and juicy fruit inside.

Available for a limited time only!

Grand Opening at Local Roots Market and Cafe

This Saturday, May 15, we're having our Grand Opening celebration at Local Roots Market and Café. It promises to be an exciting day, packed with lots of good things, so you won't want to miss it!

In anticipation of the crowd, I've been busy baking yesterday and today -- and I'm not done yet! Here's what you'll find on my shelves at the market this weekend:

And best of all, in honor of the Grand Opening, I've made a new bread -- a new original recipe -- to offer as a door prize. Meet the cappuccino chip bread, a tender dark loaf with the right hint of sweetness, it combines a wide variety of local ingredients:

In the bakery case for Friday, I'll also have:

On Saturday, you'll also find a special treat:


--Whole Wheat Croissants, buttery and flaky and fresh from the oven Saturday morning. Ingredients include whole wheat flour from Stutzman Farms and butter and milk from Hartzler Family Dairy. Get these early!

If you're around the market between 9 and 11 Saturday morning, be sure to check out Betsy Anderson's French toast demo. She'll be using a selection of breads from Local Roots producers, including my maple-oatmeal bread.

Enjoy!
