Sunday Feature: Mar Vista Farmer’s Market

Angela Chan, today’s Market shopper, is going to make Carrot Ginger Lemon Dill soup, for a special Mother’s day dinner, in a recipe adapted from HipCooks. angela

She starts with diced onions and carrots,img_0416img_0408

and sweats them in grape seed oil for about 10 minutes. Then she adds low sodium chicken broth and simmers for another 10 minutes, then cools and blends it in batches. After it’s blended, she adds finely chopped ginger to taste,img_0415

She’s a blogger and a baker. She makes fantastic gluten-free goodies, and today, she’s going to make a gluten-free strawberry tart with an almond crust.

She makes the crust with almond meal, gluten-free flour mix, and butter. After it bakes until crispy, she fills it with a creamy layer of goodness and then some gorgeous, organic strawberries and covers them with an apricot glaze.tart

Looks yummy, huh? You can order one of your own right here!
