As soon as farmers' markets open every year, we love to put on our favorite sundresses and a big straw hat and go shopping. We fill our baskets with the freshest, tastiest locally grown fruits and vegetables...we can't wait to get home and start cooking! In Fresh Farmhouse Recipes, you'll find easy and delicious recipes for all those farm-fresh goodies, shared by cooks just like you.

For a fresh morning start, whip up some Farmhouse Scrambled Eggs and a loaf of Fresh Peach Bread with Vanilla Glaze. At lunchtime, Marta's Vegetable Soup and Poppy Seed Fruit Salad are sure to please, or for a lighter lunch, an old-fashioned Toasted Tomato Sandwich.

For dinner, how about Seasoned Baked Pork Chops, Fresh Tomato & Steak Dinner or Italian Zucchini Bake? Round out the meal with tasty sides like Farmers’ Market Corn Toss, Marinated Green Bean Salad and a basket of Cornmeal Chive Biscuits. For scrumptious fun, make it a picnic with Crispy Fried Chicken, Mama’s Grillin’ Corn, Buttermilk Coleslaw and Country Greens & New Potatoes...yum!

The weather is perfect, so invite family & friends to a casual party and fill up a platter with Stuffed Mini Peppers, Fried Green Beans and Olive-Stuffed Eggs. Add a Herb Garden Cheese Ball and you're all set! Make any occasion a little sweeter with Gilda's Strawberry Dessert, Beth's Fresh Orange Cake, Hilda's Zucchini Brownies and Caramel Streusel Bars...which to sample first?
