Farmer's Market Dinner

I have always wanted to be that “Saturday-morning-farmer’s-market” girl. This past weekend I finally did it. Devin and I were up and out early with our reusable grocery bag and spent the morning meandering around an adorable farmer’s market trying samples and planning dinner as we went.
We decided to purchase everything needed for a fresh dinner and what better meal to take advantage of the yummy breads, cheeses, veggies, and meat than grilled burgers with watermelon and fresh homemade lemonade! We bought a basil and garlic homemade soft cheese with pita chips for an appetizer then enjoyed fresh ground beef from an organic and biodynamic (sustainable) farm on our burgers. I made lemonade, something I remember my dad making every summer growing up. We purchased these adorable Mason jar cups with stainless steel straws and they were just perfect for lemonade and an outdoor dinner on the patio.
The burgers turned out perfect! With such yummy meat I am sure it was impossible to mess them up. We mixed in some spices, an egg white, and chopped up veggies (carrots, various sweet peppers, onion, and garlic) for flavor.  Probiotic latin spicy chili cheese, kosher dill pickles, and local produce made for a delectable summer feast! I had never seen tigerella tomatoes before but their unique flavor added so much. YUMMMMMYYYYY!!!!
It was a perfect summer day, let us enjoy them while they last, can you believe it is September already?! Sigh…Here is to all of us summer-lovin’ people!
