It isn’t often that we stop and think where our dinner tables would be without our local farmers! No. Produce and meats do not magically appear on our grocery store shelves. It must be produced and cared for by farmers. And in Boise, we are very lucky and honored to have some fantastic local farmers that bring their wears each week to us for our enjoyment and health. To you – Thank-You! Now to go into withdrawal until April 4, 2020. Here are some of the vendors who provided Robin and I with some awesome products.

Joe Mamma’s Eatery, (208) 939-3917, 3510 N Eagle Rd, Meridian, ID 83646. “Joe Momma’s is owned and operated by Kathleen Wise and Danette Smith. Danette Smith has over 20 years of experience owning and operating successful restaurants. Danette Smith was owner and operator of 9th Street Sandwiches for 2 years, which she then sold to pursue Moon’s Kitchen Cafe, which she owned and operated for 10 years until selling the restaurant in 2001.” [Website] They have an awesome breakfast menu that will challenge Goldy’s Breakfast Bistro or Manley’s – remember them all of you in Boise?. The dining area is large and spacious. The Waite Staff is good and eager to help, especially our Server, Rachel. Our breakfast plates were quite large and all made fresh. Yes! Fresh crab cakes made from Blue Crab, fresh carnitas from pork and housemade Hollandaise sauce.
A well deserved 5-Star rating mainly for the quality of the food they serve. (The oatmeal that someone ordered was huge!)
Here are some photos from our visit. Enjoy! But first. Robin also had a pancake with her breakfast. It had to be 14″ in diameter! She brought it home. Left-Click any photo to see it enlarged.

And another note: The Boise Farmers Market (BFM) moves to it’s new location at Shoreline Drive and Americana Blvd on Saturday April 6, 2019! It’s been a long time in the works. Many, if not most of the produce and products sold at the market, work extremely well with the Air Fryer, and Instant Pot, recipes listed on this blog. See you at the Market! And from their email posting –
The Boise Farmers Market opens in TWO short weeks

[Sauce Diable is one of many sauces that can be made from a basic and versatile recipe for Quick Brown Sauce. James Beard famously served it with his Deviled Beef Bones, but it is equally delicious with broiled flank steak or broiled chicken. For an even tangier preparation, add small capers and finely chopped sour pickles…A basic brown sauce with the addition of wine, vinegar, shallots and red or black pepper. It’s usually served with broiled meat or poultry.]
Quail Parisienne aux Poivre Rose (Pink Peppercorns)

We did have a good visit to Deja Brew – Laugh A Latte in Meridian on March 23, 2018 at 112 East Idaho Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642. Phone – (208) 957-6442. Hours – Mon: 6:30AM-8:00PM, Tue: 6:30AM-8:00PM, Wed: 6:30AM-8:00PM, Thu: 6:30AM-9:00PM, Fri: 6:30AM-9:00PM, Sat: 6:30AM-9:00PM, Sun: 6:30AM-3:00PM. Good ambiance with plenty of open seating. It can be a little noisy, though; They need to turn the music back somewhat. You must order your food at the counter, but they will generally bring it to your table. They do have a good Breakfast/Lunch Menu with many varieties of coffee and tea. Their Dinner/Wine/Beer Menu, with a good selection of beer and wine. We will return to this bistro in Meridian. It is definitely a 4-Star restaurant/bistro. Here are some photos. Enjoy!

Robin checking the menu. The interior is very open, but can be noisy.
Virginia Dare Pinot Noir. A really good wine that goes well with my breakfast of Eggs Benedict and Robin’s Cobb Salad. Surprising. And yes, it is made in Virginia with Russian River (CA) grapes.
Robin had a Cobb Salad.
I had Eggs Benedict. The potatoes were good. Different. Just a little salty.

And such a great morning it was. 50 degrees F and light winds. Snow in the mountains; None in the valley!
Six weeks and the market moves indoors to the Fulton Street building. But for now – Rum Cake from Dee’s Rum Kãx! And delicious it is! And some really great fruit – Israeli Melon from Rice Family Farms and some fresh Salad Greens from Ohana No-Till Farm. From Chef Jake Sandberg and Crispeats, an awesome Asian Salad. Here is some information about Dee’s Rum Kãx.
Business card. I did not find an email or web address.

Awesome Dressing
22 Saturday Apr 2017
This is one awesome dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes; burgers, steak, salads, shrimp dip, etc.
Combine 1 part Oma & Popie’s Drunk Uncle Wing Sauce (see them at the Boise Farmers Market or Oma & Poppie’s on FB) and 2 parts Martin’s Swiss Dressing (available online at Martin’s Swiss Dressing). Martin’s Swiss Dressing almost has an Asian component. I do hope you like this combination. We do!
