Congratulations to Amber and Seth! They invited me to be their photographer at their destination wedding in the Dominican Republic and I happily accepted. They’re an adorable couple and it was hard to pick just two photos to post here! The small group at the reception felt like they had all been family for decades, it was a ton of fun to be there, and I’m really honored that I was invited to be part of the week. Congrats again, you two!
One Local Summer rolls on into week five. I figured I’d switch it up a bit and do a breakfast meal this week before we left for the Dominican Republic. Why yes, I spent most of June out of the country. 
Potatoes in front are basic home fries in the skillet with potatoes (there were lots of potatoes) from last week’s run to the Anselma Mill Market. The bacon on the side is from Country Time Farm and is becoming a fast favorite probably because it’s almost fresh off the pig with no nitrates. In the back is a slice of frittata containing eggs picked up at Willow Creek Orchards from Pleasant View Farms, Tomatoes from Lancaster County, Garlic Scapes grown at Willow Creek, and Hendricks Swiss Cheese, and more bacon.
Non-Local ingredients used: Olive oil, salt, pepper
This was my first time visiting Willow Creek and I just love the store and the pick-your-own vegetable patch. We brought home some turnips, snap peas, and carrots as well that I hope to use this week. As previously mentioned, we were away most of the week in the Dominican Republic since I was flown in for a friend’s wedding to be the photographer – LOTS of great photos and I can’t wait to post them. We had a lovely time and may even go back for a proper vacation maybe in the winter when it’s hopefully not quite so warm!
