We had the opportunity to visit the Northville, MI Farmer’s Market on our vacation. The fruit was delicious. I am still waiting for the right opportunity to try the maple syrup we purchased. When we went up North we had the opportunity to check out the beautiful farmer’s market in Charlevoix MI right on the water.

All of this beautiful food inspired me to make a fresh pasta dish on vacation (which was the only “dinner-type” meal I had an opportunity to prepare. My mother-in-law grows wonderful fresh herbs in her garden and I was able to use these delicious herbs to create my pasta meal. I used some previously made tomato sauce and Trader Joe’s penne – pretty basic. I then cut up green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, and onions and sauteed them. I mixed everything together, added some extra olive oil and pine nuts, and then added the fresh herbs from the garden (I did not cook these). I added basil, parsley, and oregano. Then I topped the meal with parmesan shavings.
