One of our favorite stands at our local farmer's market is Peacock Family Farms. Kenya has been madly in love with the woman who helps run it since he was 8 months old -- so much so, his name for her is "girlfriend" (he's such a little flirt). Beside the gorgeous raisins, walnuts, almonds and peaches they sell, they also grow THE most incredibly delicious eggplant, which I love almost as much as Kenya loves "girlfriend". With it, I make Baby Ghanoosh and Ratatouille for the family, but I bought a ton of it last week and wanted to make something special and different that I knew the kids would really enjoy.
These eggplant sticks turned out shockingly delicious. I say "shockingly" because even a couple of people I know who aren't normally fans of eggplant ate almost all of my test batch. Crispy on the outside and creamy and tender inside, I bet even kids that say they don't like veggies will devour them -- they're like eggplant French Fries!
I guess the biggest reason I love going to the farmer's market as a family is that there's always something (or someone) to fall in love with.
