Summertime

     For the last several years, my family has been huge supporters of the Broad Ripple Farmer's market. We meet there on Saturday mornings, walk the strip a few times, buy a few things, try the samples, and then hit Biscuits for breakfast. It is one of my favorite summertime traditions-second only to Symphony on the Prairie.
      A few weeks ago, no one was able to meet me in Broad Ripple so Hannah and I decided to stay a little closer to home and check out the Fishers' Farmer Market. It.was.heaven. With a band playing on the stage and the smell of fresh waffles filling the air, it's hard not to fall in love immediately. From homemade pies, to flowers, to fresh egg rolls, this is a place you have to check out. Here are the vendors I've learned not to pass up so far:
Mathoo's Egg Rolls- holy heaven. Up until a few weeks ago, I could have gone my entire life with eating an egg roll, but these changed the game. 

Nutty by Nature Granola- specifically the White Chocolate Cranberry. It's packed with pecans, cashews, and all sorts of Nutty goodness. And the husband and wife team are about as sweet as they come.

Pete's Pastries- I've only sampled these because I've been cursed with a metabolism that moves at about the same speed as molasses during the polar vortex, but the tiny morsel assured me these are going to be worth the splurge one day.


Not to mention the endless produce vendors. Last night I made a simple caprese salad with fresh tomatoes and basil I bought from the market. Justin kept asking what I did to make it taste so much better than usual. I didn't do anything, but the local farmers did. And who doesn't love the opportunity to support local business. Look for me if go, but don't judge me if you see me. Sweat pants and last night's mascara are my staples these days.
