As is probably obvious by now, I heart my farmer’s markets. Aside from spices, I know I could eat only foods I found there. This recipe for mac and cheese is simple but uses so many fresh ingredients from the market that it really stands out from the standard boxed fare. Plus it’s not so weird that my kid won’t eat it. With the summer produce really hitting the stands now, you can stuff this pasta full of veggies but still be able to indulge in cheesy goodness.

  3. Love the zing of raw milk cheddar — and its gorgeous how the flavor changes from season to season. There’s a dairy in our area that actually marks each cheese according to the season — spring is grassy and bright, while summer is a bit more herbal. Delicious!
