Chef Jay Strom of From Beginning to End Foods, is one of the newest vendors to begin attending the Denver Indoor Farmers’ Market.  He had an impressive variety of freshly ground gourmet spices, spice blends, dips and sauces.  This got my creative juices flowing….so many flavor combinations, so little time. 

They had reasonably priced Spanish saffron.  Here’s a top 20 list of recipes made with saffron, in case you’re wondering what you could do with it.

It could be time for another batch of chili.

The Denver Indoor Farmers’ Market has a large room, part of which they now have sectioned off as a kid’s play area.   

 Omelet the chicken may occasionally wander in.  She seems to be a regular fixture at the market.

 I got more information on these ‘cold-frames.’

$150 each.  You can use them year-round, perhaps to keep you in small amounts of baby greens and herbs.  The builder uses them for starting his veggie plants that will be transplanted outside when weather permits.  One of these would probably do nicely in my front yard.  A nice option as I don’t have the tools (or skills) to make one myself.

This week, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be visiting the Winter Farmers’ Market in Fort Collins, which has been experiencing record attendance.  Check back next week to see what’s at the market!

Have a great week!
