There are few nicer recipes for a great Saturday than a morning breakfast at your favorite local restaurant followed by a visit to the farmer's market and the best bakery in town.In my book, that is the way to start the weekend even in January when farmer's market are at their low point.
We came away some "Winter Wine" soap, homemade bratwurst, and of course some freshly baked bread.
I have great memories of freshly baked bread from when we lived on a farm in Canada. My wife would often bake eight loaves at a time. There is nothing greater than coming in from a cold day's work on the farm and smelling fresh bread baking especially with the knowledge that you will get to enjoy some as soon as it is done.
One of the few things that I have not been able to find along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks is a good bakery.
Roanoke, Virginia does not have that problem, nor does Blacksburg.
When I used to work in Blacksburg, I often enjoyed the bread from Our Daily Bread.
During our days of living full time in Roanoke, many Saturday we took the time to visit On the Rise Bakery down at the Roanoke City Farmer's Market.
I love bread made from whole grains. On the Rise is a great place to find it.
