This summer I've set out to take advantage of the various farmers markets around the city as much as possible. It's great to be able to use the freshest ingredients and I promise you can taste the difference between farm fresh and grocery store produce. On Saturday I went to Green City Market (
find out more here) and was pleasantly surprised with the variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers and baked goods. I picked up blueberries, zucchini, scones, brioche, and the biggest sunflowers I have ever seen - all for less than $15.
My biggest challenge is always to actually use everything I buy, which is why today I'm writing my first "Market to Meal" post on how to use fresh blueberries for a weekend breakfast treat ... blueberry pancakes!
On Saturday I made blueberry pancakes with the amazing blueberries from Green City Market. I used
this recipe and the only change I made was that I waited about 10 minutes after making the batter instead of an hour as the recipe suggests. I'm not the most patient person... but they we're still absolutely delicious!
Ahh your photos look beautiful! Did you get a new camera because all of the pictures look really crisp and colorful! Love farmer's markets/sunflowers :)

yum I LOVE blueberry pancakes! I used to not be a fan and now I love them, especially fresh from the Farmers Market! (and to answer your question about the wedding photos- I'm definitely going to post them but it probably won't be for a month or so. I haven't gotten them back yet :( but as soon as I do I'll share!)
