Cape Cod Farmers Market

 The sun, ocean and fresh sea air are a great combination for creating some new recipes and new memories with family.  We went to the cape to visit family. Before we left on our trip I made sure to check out where are the farmers markets were. This is what I found.
 It the Cape there are farm stands every and they did have one farmers market every Tuesday down the street from my Aunt's house.
So I went to go check it out and found that they had a nice size market. I was super excited to see a meat purveyor there. Even though I am a vegetarian it was still nice to see that.
  Okay so we bought some item fresh organic items and started to create :)
