Sometimes the best dishes come together at the most unexpected times. When you’re least expecting it, when you barely have anything in the fridge and just have to throw something together, or when you are simply…not thinking about it. This farmers’ market hash is one of those dishes.

Not thinking can be such a great thing. I’m totally guilty of over-thinking most things in life (to the nth degree). Hello! Wedding planning!

When you spend close to four hours (ok, more like seven) trying to figure out what type and size pots and pans to register for, you know you have a serious problem.

But there is one area of my life where I consider myself to be a relatively successful ‘non-thinker’.

Food and cooking. I’m not gonna lie, food blogging has definitely made this a little bit more difficult. It is really easy to want to add one.more.thing to practically every dish that comes out of my kitchen (and makes itself onto this site). This can be a great thing, because sometimes it really is just that one little extra thing that takes a dish from good to great.

It has made me a more creative cook in so many ways!

But for the most part, I really just strive to make yummy food without the frills, and just the teeniest amount of flair. Food that makes me want to do a happy dance all over my little apartment. And more importantly, food that will hopefully make you want to do a happy dance all over your home!

That is always (and will forever be) my end goal. I definitely fall off the bandwagon every now and then, but I hope that is how you feel when you take the time to visit this site (and for that, I pretty much love your guts).

And if you get inspired to get in the kitchen and make your own version of a dish, well, that’s even better.

Woh, who knew hash could bring out all the mushy love stuff?!?

Hash tends to have that effect on me (and I’m pretty sure, most people). Throw together a skillet of crispy potatoes full of farmers’ market veggies (in this case, green beans, tomatoes, fresh corn, and mini sweet peppers), top it with perfectly runny poached eggs, and I guarantee that people will love you just a little bit more.

There are heavier, meatier hashes (like this one) and lighter, summer-y hashes. This dish is definitely the latter. It is hearty enough to fill you up for hours, but not food-coma inducing either.

If you can’t find mini sweet peppers, feel free to substitute with chopped bell peppers, cubanelle, or even poblano peppers (just remember, poblanos can vary in spiciness and the seeds should be removed prior to cooking).

Oh yeah, and remember that basil oil recipe I shared the other day? You’re going to want to drizzle the extras all over this. Cheese isn’t a bad idea either!
