Farmers Market Bounty and Recipe
One of the best things about summer is fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables. Cooking and preparing meals with produce that was picked just days ago makes everything taste better.
When I shop at the local farmers market, I look for my seasonal favorites and sometimes get a nice surprise–hard-to-find items, sometimes an abundance (and cheap prices) on other items, and occasionally something new.
This week’s bounty included wax beans and purple bell peppers. The beans were delicious in this new recipe I tried, so I’m happy to share it with you!
Seared Yellow Wax Beans and Arugula
4-6 Servings
Recipe adapted from Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, Jon & Vinny’s, Los Angeles, CA
Ingredients
⅓ cup olive oil
1 pound yellow wax beans, trimmed
3 shallots, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt, to taste
2 cups baby arugula
Directions
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the wax beans, shallots and garlic, and cook, tossing as needed until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the lemon juice, thyme leaves and red pepper flakes. Season with salt. Cook until the beans are just tender, while still retaining a bite, 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the arugula leaves and cook until just wilted, 1 minute more. Transfer to a platter and serve.
Enjoy!

She’s a nerd turned ninja…
Working as a top-secret biochemist, Danni Knorr was kidnapped and almost killed by terrorists who wanted her research. After narrowly escaping with her life, she vowed never to be a victim again. To confront her fears, Danni becomes the kind of woman no one dare mess with, learning martial arts and firearms. She’s traded in her lab coat for a holster, working as a kickass personal bodyguard for a famous rock star. But she’s in way over her head when she stumbles onto drug cartel business—business that could get her killed.
He’s a bad boy hiding a broken heart…
Lars Jenkins is the Spec. Ops Marine rescued Danni when she was kidnapped. In the months that have passed since then, he can’t get her out of his head. While she’s hot as hell, she is trouble with a capital T. The woman attracts danger like a magnet—a sexy magnet, which is why Lars stays away from her. He was hurt once and won’t allow it to happen again. But when a friend calls in a favor, Lars finds himself helping Danni once more and the chemistry between them is more explosive than ever.
Stuck together again, the two decide maybe mixing pleasure with business isn’t the worst thing that could happen. The worst thing would be getting killed by the drug cartel hunting them.

Ruined and abandoned by her betrothed, Lady Juliet has no choice but to take the stagecoach home to her family in Yorkshire. Fortunately, she is protected on the journey by a handsome and amusing self-styled “wastrel”. Daniel Stewart – together with his enormous, unruly mongrel dog – is reluctantly answering a summons to his grandfather’s deathbed. But instead of the prodigal’s traditional fatted calf, he is presented with the miserly baron’s temper and a parcel of resentful relatives. Juliet faces recrimination and isolation in her own home.
It isn’t surprising that Dan and Juliet seek solace in secret meetings to cheer each other up. Neither expects to fall in love.
