Ski Run Boulevard Farmers Market

With views of the Lake and Heavenly, shopping doesn't get better than this!

I fell in love with the Cheddar Cauliflower when my gardener friend, Chef Tom, prepared one for me.  Aptly named for its bright, cheddar orange-yellow color, this newcomer boasts of 25 times more beta carotene than regular cauliflower. Similar in taste to regular cauliflower with a more creamy texture, it is delicious raw or cooked. For plates designed to look like an artist’s palate, it intensifies to vibrant citrus-orange when lightly steamed!

Visually showy and creatively compelling, Purple of Sicily has plump, tightly compacted, brilliant purple heads. This coveted Italian heirloom weighs in at two to three pounds with a sweet flavor but sadly, turns green once cooked
.
If we wouldn't have just eaten, this is where we would have dined.  This Mobile Wood Fired Pizza Oven is an amazing culinary stop on the Farmers Market shopping path.  Kris and Kelly make a unique selection of pizzas.  We sampled the "Tahoe":  kale, mushrooms, pinenuts, cheeses and lemon zest.  Buon appetito!
There is something for everyone at this Farmers Market.  Here's Steve with Kora the Art Car. Kora is an '84 VW Jetta painted with a classic green chalkboard finish. She’s actually a National Art Project and visitors can draw on her chalkboard surfaces, tires, windows... basically everywhere! It's out-of-the-box, vibrantly colorful fun for everyone.
 This entire afternoon was vibrantly colorful fun for everyone!  I love summer in Tahoe!

Food! Why do pictures of food fill you up but leave you hungry?

I love those colorful cauliflower! It is amazing how much fruit and vegetables have changed since I was born.
Have you had an aprium?
