Happy Weekend! You are free to move about the Valley. Have a great one.

Blueberry Festival, a Giant Peach, and speedy Zucchini. This is one great Lehigh Valley weekend for produce!

In this week’s Tasty Tuesday, we find a simple and quick way to use cherries in dessert, without taking too much time or creating too much heat in the kitchen.

If you find yourself wondering where the greens from your salad came from or the chicken on your plate was raised, and would prefer them to be sustainable, here are five cool Lehigh Valley restaurants for local food.

After a long winter, the wait is over. The farmers’ markets of the Lehigh Valley are ready to open again!

We’ll happily eat our vegetables, if they’re prepared with the kind of inventiveness that we see from chefs Jason Hook and Kevin O’Kane at H2O Kitchen.

Scarecrows, and Desserts and Ghosts, oh my!

There are some truly great events happening this weekend. Some require tickets, and you can save some money if you get them in advance. Time’s running out to do that, so you may want to do it soon. Have a great time!

Did you go to VegFest? Are you sad you missed it? Either way, if you are curious about vegan cooking but don’t know where to start, we have a recipe for you.

Bethlehem’s VegFest on Saturday September 10 will bring guests, speakers, vendors, demonstrators all together with the goal of talking about more sustainable ways of eating.

This is Laini’s original list of things to do on the weekend in the Lehigh Valley. It’s her own recipe, made from scratch, every week, just for you. This one even has its own soundtrack. Enjoy!

It’s May. That means it’s market season. The Lehigh Valley is seeing more of these every year. Good eats!

Are you curious about what the deal with this whole “local food” thing is? Wonder why someone would want to shop at a farmers’ market instead of the regular food store? This should answer some of your questions. Still have questions after you read it? Please leave them in the comments section. We can try to sort this all out together. It’s worth it. 🙂

Tuesday afternoons and evenings will never be the same. Prepare for a summer of freshness!

Sun, Sunny, ribbon-cutting, Earl the accordionist, an Asphalt Orchestra and lots of furry friends and green foods.

Do you like to buy locally-grown food and support your local farmers? Why not take it to the next level this summer by enrolling in a CSA program. What’s a CSA? Read on.

Getting great food here, from the source, is just a short drive away. You’ll always know exactly what’s in season and can ask the local farmers how the food was grown to how it is best prepared. Try any one—or all—of the following providers, who are happy to help. This is the local food post for the Eastern end of the Valley. Look for the Central and Western versions soon!

Executive Chef Jason Hook, who took over the kitchen less than three months ago, has the youthful energy and creative vision to put Glasbern on the national culinary map.

Special [almost] All-Holiday List!
How long can you stay out of the malls? Can you do it til January? I think you can. With this list, you’ll be too busy to even think about going near one. Every little downtown in our Valley has wonderful stuff for you! And remember, there’s lots of little pocket guides to Easton and Bethlehem out there that will fill lots of stockings!

To us at LPG.com, this is evidence that summer really is over. Hopefully whenever we are feeling the chill of winter, we can look at these photos and look forward to the opening of the markets next May. Thank you to Chris Elston for preserving these moments for us.
