 While farmers markets may have once been the purview of young urban
professionals, their presence and popularity has exploded even in the
suburbs in the past several years. As people increasingly become aware
of the importance of knowing where their food comes from, in light of
the recent salmonella and e.coli outbreaks, it is natural that people
turn first to their local farmers markets. If you haven't checked out your local market yet this year, go now! September is the most bountiful month of the year in most of the U.S. Shopping at a farmers market is quite
different than shopping at a big box grocery store, so here are a few
tips to help you avoid being overwhelmed by your first trip, or to make
your shopping outings more effective.

Cooking with Kids

 Baking is a great way for children to learn using their sense of touch. It's also thereupetic and gives them a sense of pride when they present their finished cookies.
At what age can children start baking? You can let children assist you when they're as young as two. They can still stir batter, add premeasured ingredients and help roll out dough. They will make a mess but that's half the fun. That's what aprons are for anyway.
Thie main recipe is for peanut butter cookies, but included are similar recipes modified for oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies.

Peach Salsa is a local food here in the South and introduced to me by my good friend Lou Anne from South Carolina. What began as a spicy blend of tomatoes, peppers, onion and cilantro has expanded to include pineapple, mango, and peaches. Peach Salsa is a nice soft taste and texture combination. It is truly a special local treat made here in the peach raising part of the South. This nouvelle blend of tomatoes and peaches serves as an excellent side dish for snacking, a great little basting sauce for grilling chicken, and so many other ways to enjoy it.

This pineapple salsa is easy to cook up. Serve with tortilla chips or
dress up your meals. It is a great compliment to fish, pork and
chicken. This makes about 3 quarts. Put some in the fridge and preserve
some for later.
