This week's farmers market meal plan + recipes — 3rd week of August

I’m feeling unusually ambitious right now. So this week, I’ve primarily planned dishes I’ve never tried (or even heard of) before.

I’ll likely regret it by Tuesday, but alas, my weird cravings need to be addressed.

My haul breaks down to 59 servings of meals and snacks — $3.58 per serving. The cheapest was my $0.54 Hungarian wax peppers, while the priciest was my $15.80 cod
