Perfect Cornbread Muffins with Corn

Take advantage of freshly milled cornmeal from Hickory Nut Farm, frozen sweet corn from Alsum's Sweet Corn, and some great cheese from your favorite DCFM cheese maker. In this cold weather there's not much that goes better with home made corn bread than  a bowl of chili featuring meat, onions, and more from the Dane County Farmers' Market [RECIPE].

'Taste of the Market' Breakfast

Cinnamon Swirl French Toast with Raspberry Syrup

 

 

by DCFM Kitchen Staff and Volunteers 

 

Last week's French toast as so popular that we thought we'd run the recipe for those of you who want to make it at home. It's an easy recipe and uses some critical ingredients from the DCFM.    

 

Four Servings

Ingredients
  • 8 Slices Cinnamon Swirl Bread (Check out Silly Yak Bakery)
  • ~ 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups frozen raspberries (Check with Sutter's Ridge Farm)
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

 

Directions
  1. Combine eggs, milk, and nutmeg in a shallow dish.  Soak bread in the mixture and place on a buttered griddle or frying pan.  Cook until browned on each side.
  2. Thaw raspberries in a pan on the stove with the maple syrup and butter.  Once everything is combined and warm, pour over the top of cooked french toast.

This Saturday's Entertainment

The Old Gray Cats is an ensemble of fiddle (Linda Millunzi-Jones), guitar (Greg Jones), banjo (Joe McNally) and stand-up bass (Willi Van Haren). They play old-time dance band music that you might have heard at barn dances or square dances, with a little singing thrown in for fun.

Most members of the band have been playing together for decades. Come tap your feet or waltz with your breakfast and they'll play some cheerful tunes for you.


A Solid Foundation
If you've spend any time at the Winter Dane County Farmers' Market (DCFM) you know there are plenty of local ingredients you can use to make stupendous meals. The frost sweetened spinach, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, leeks, parsnips, and additional produce is just the start.

From excellent meats to world class cheeses to a wide range of baked goods, there is plenty to keep you engaged in inspired culinary adventures.


If the excellent ingredients at the DCFM are the building blocks of quality locally sourced eating, then the good conversations, camaraderie, and friendships are the foundation that makes shopping at the market so special.

Take a look around when you come to the market this Saturday. Whether folks are enjoying the "Taste of the Market" breakfast or shopping, chances are they're spending a good amount of time enjoying the company of fellow shoppers or sellers. What a wonderful way to start the weekend ... and add some warmth to these cold winter days.

Eat well by eating local!
