This is the last in a series on trips to special markets to explore new foods. Next week’s Muffin Tin Monday meal will be based on a book called Yankee Doodle.
The months of July and August will be reader’s choice. I am calling this series Serving Lunch with JDaniel4’s Mom. You will have an opportunity to suggest recipes I should try to use in the next week’s muffin tin. I will be selecting a couple recipes each week to feature in a muffin tin. If it is a recipe on your blog, I will be linking back to your recipe. You may want to start scouring your cookbooks or your blog for recipes.
This is the farmer’s market in downtown Greenville
After purchasing some peaches, we found this wonderful booth that sold pasta, sauces, and pizza dough. We bought a ball of whole wheat pizza dough. Everything they had for sale looked wonderful
Here are our purchases. I love that one of the peaches came with a leaf still attached.
JDaniel enjoyed having his own small bowl of dough to work with.
My crust rolling skills are very limited. The pizza came out more hat shaped than circular. It tasted wonderful. We used three kinds of cheeses and leftover shredded pork loin.
JDaniel decided that we really needed to make a fruit pizza too. He started talking about creating one on the way back from the farmers market. It worked out well. We added blueberries and the peaches we purchased to the crust. I brushed the fruit with honey halfway through the baking process.
What fruits and vegetables are in season where you are?

I so miss the farmers market. We had a huge state one when we lived in Raleigh, NC and we used to visit every weekend. For my oldest two I made every bit of their baby food from fresh fruits and vegetables purchased at the Farmers Market and totally think that is why they love fruits and veggies so much today.
I love that he wanted to make a fruit pizza and it looks delicious!
This is one of our favorite summer dishes – http://twobearsfarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/black-bean-and-corn-salad.html
We did pizza today too! Pizza pizza! 🙂
Pizza is one of my daughter’s favourite meals – she likes helping to make the dough, and loves having her very own pizza base to top with her favourite toppings (even though she always chooses the same things: ham, pineapple, cheese, olives)! Your tin looks very yummy!
I love pizza and so do my kiddos. I should try buying dough sometime. I have tried making my own, but my son and husband don’t like it. LOL! My daughter and I thought is was fine though. I love that JDaniel got to make a little pizza too!
Love pizza and the Farmer’s market! The fruit pizza looks great! 🙂
How could he not eat everything in there? It looks so yummy for a kid.
My dream would be to live in an urban area where I could get up on a weekend and walk outside and down the street to a farmers’ market like that!
Great idea!
We have a small downtown farmer’s market on Wednesdays that we go to every week, we love it!
I think I may steal your Farmer’s Market idea for the Muffin Tins as we are going to the local one on Wednesday evening. I love the pizzas and how healthy your meal is!
Love the Farmer’s Market! Looks like JDaniel had a lot of fun with this project! 🙂
Looks good!
I make a lot of homemade pizza, but my rolling skills aren’t excellent either.
That all looks so good!! Which reminds me, I should probably be making dinner right now.
Loved your pictures!!
I love your muffin tin Monday’s. My kids would of been all over that each week. I keep buying the best cantaloupes but not sure if they are from around here. Strawberries will be coming in June, can’t wait!
Oh how I would love to go to a farmers market. How cool!
Mmm, makes me want to go get some fresh peaches!
i want a peach!!!
lol, you know.. .my state fruit! 🙂
That is a fantastic looking tin and it looked like it was a really fun process! I’m going to have to try the fruit pizza. What a great idea JDaniel had!
Your hat pizza looks delicious! And, great muffin tin, as always! The comments are making me anonymous. Grumpy Grateful Mom 🙂
Another yummy lunch! I ADORE the markets here and I’m hoping Santa will bring me a pasta maker for Christmas!!!! It’s just sooooo much better!
I love the fruit pizza! we have corn and watermelon and I’m not sure what else. 🙂
That muffin tin looks downright yummy! I wish we had a farmers market around here that I could go to. It seems like all the good ones around here are during the week while I’m at work!
Love the farmer’s market, ours isn’t that great of a selection yet. But strawberries are in season now. I love strawberries.
I love the idea of serving unch in the muffin containers! I think it makes it fun for the kids and they are more likely to finish their vegetables! We love Eating watermelons these days!
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog
Love muffin tin monday’s! The fruit pizza just gave me a fantastic idea! My kids love to make homemade pizzas and now we can change it up a bit.
Wow that fruit pizza looks good!! I love Farmers Markets and could spend hours just checking everything out.
I am looking forward to a trip the the farmer’s market soon too!
