In a follow up to this week’s La Dolce Vita post, I thought I would share my sweet finds from the market yesterday. Tuesday is normally ‘market day’ for me, and yesterday I came home with a variety of fresh goodies from the market. I only spent about €7 for everything, and this will last us most of the week. The ‘flowers’ are actually fiori di zucca, or zucchini flowers. Remember the recipe I shared here? I was able to score 15 flowers for only €1, along with a large bunch of basil for free, from the sweet signora selling the flowers. They made a yummy side dish with dinner last night! It is much cheaper for us to buy fresh, healthy food from the market than it is for us to buy packaged food from the supermarket. Just another reason why I LOVE the markets here in Italy!
