Dirty Veggies, Part 12

This week's farmer's market was a bit of a challenge for me. Mostly because we can open up our own little farm stand with the amount of veggies we have in the house! Have I mentioned our squash problem? Because we have such an abundance, I didn't want to over do it at the market and end up throwing away any pretty produce.

However, I went to the farmer's market with a particular recipe in mind. Parsnip-Rosemary Muffins. Parsnip. In muffins. Doesn't that sound like the most amazing idea ever? Okay, okay, fine, I'm sure that chocolate and peanut butter in muffins sound much more amazing, but I love parsnips! And I love rosemary. Can you see how putting the two together would equal excitement? 

This week's roundup:
1 head of garlic - $1.25
1 bunch of kale - $2.00
1 bunch rosemary - $1.50
7 Bosc pears - $2.25
6 large parsnips - $3.00
Total: $10.00

These muffins were quite good if parsnip and rosemary are your thang. This recipe could easily be made into a bread loaf too.
