Locavores: May 5-11 Shopping and menu

Another great weekend for eastern Idaho locavores! Here is what we found this week-

Rexburg Farmers Market- radishes, herbs, and tomatoes. Also some of the most amazing handmade blue cheese I've ever tasted.
Idaho Falls Farmers Market- small red potatoes, leeks, garlic, basil, arugula, spinach, garlic chives, fresh eggs, and handmade smoked andouille sausage. 
And we are still in asparagus season so we picked 3 lbs from the ditch banks in Rigby


And here is what we're doing with it
Saturday- With andouille sausage we have to make GUMBO!!!- This is a basic recipe, we'll adjust it for our needs.
Sunday- Arugula salad with blue cheese and and smashed potatoes
Monday-Asparagus risotto with spinach salad
Tuesday-pasta squares with radish green and basil pesto- a la this recipe
Wednesday- This asparagus salad, deviled eggs, and good bread
Thursday- Pizza night! Using whatever ingredients are on hand
