MARY’S PEEPS IS BACK
After a long absence we are pleased to announce that Mary’s Peeps is returning to Market at Dothan.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mary Dale Peoples, she is a kind, amazing woman who can do anything she puts her mind to. The number one thing she puts her mind to is taking care of her family; kids, grandkids, inlaws, outlaws, and mostly her husband and mother. She has baked for them many years and has a wealth of experience.
The family has been through a lot the last couple of years and though she’s been absent, she’s always been close. We’re thankful she’s able to get back in the swing of things by listing her two classic pound cakes and hope you’ll take advantage!

A Little Culinary Inspiration
As far as roasted root vegetables, there is SO much room for creativity. We chose this photo because it’s just a little different than your standard kitchen blog photo of before and after roasted vegetables. The open bulbs of garlic and fresh herbs (which would be very shriveled had they cooked with everything else) is just . . . pretty. But it does lend to some thinking outside the box.
We’ve had some nice root vegetables on the Market lately – beautiful carrots and beets, and while butternut squash is not a root veggie, it cooks real well with them!
Back to that outside the box thing . . . there’s no “wrong” way to roast vegetables, and there are some great things to try if you are tired of just tossing a few items with Olive Oil, salt and pepper before popping it in the oven. We’re giving you TWO lists – one of veggies you can throw in your mix, another of seasonings that might be fun to try.
Enjoy!
