FALL 2009 BEGINS!

This is going to be a great season for eatin'. I am anticipating lots of time spent in the kitchen after a long hiatus. I'm kicking off the season with a simple fresh dinner date menu tonight:

fresh wild salmon

farmers market swiss chard sauteed with leeks and shallots

beets with white wine vinegar dressing

The wild whole foods salmon is pricey but seems to be the only real option for fresh fish around here.

Atwater Village farmers market is my easy local farmers market. Small and shop-able.

And those Trader Joe's beets man... keep being so quick and delicious!
