Spaghetti squash and ground pork Szechuan stirfry:

Simple baked, sockeye salmon, with only lemon, dill, salt and pepper. Served with potato and dill vegan pierogies from my local farmers market, and brussel sprouts.

The pierogies were pan, fried and olive oil, then steamed for a few minutes to soften them up. This gives them a great flavor.

We love a farmers market for fresh, organic, and sustainably raised produce & meats.
