9 06 2011

I really really really LOVE going to the farmer’s market, it’s my favorite thing!!! :)

my loot!!!

my mom or may not have had a mini heart attack when she saw what all I brought home last Saturday…relax all of this was only $16!!!! I think it was all a steal!! and i don’t mind supporting my local farmers. And one guy was sooo sweet, he GAVE me the whole bag of butternut squash!! :) how sweet. Those pickles…amaazing!!!!!! they’re just plain dill and AWESOME!!!

fun little bite sized potatoes!!!

we just coated these with some olive oil + rosemary+ thyme.popped them into the oven…..and we were good to go!!!! mmmm! :)

homegrown beets are AMZAZING> :)

i’ve been eating these like no ones business!! and I’ve thought I had a bladder infection more than once…..

mostly local salad.

to bring together all the goods in quick easy meal! beets, lettuce from our garden, spinach, goat cheese, and balsamic dressing! mmm. and to go with it…

 
don’t judge by looks!

BOMB!!! potato!!! japanese sweet potato to be exact. WOWOWOWOW. sooo good!! like a buttery goodness with a sweet potato flavor!! and insanely filling..i couldn’t even finish it! (extremely rare)

i’ve been teaching water aerobics to some neighbors, i’ve got a yoga group going, and i’m teaching swimming lessons…as well as working for the chef man 3 days a week!!! it’s crazy!!!! still trying to make room for blogging and having fun!!!:)

hope everyone  is off to a good start of the summer!!!! :)

PEACE.

Wow, you have brought some wonderful veggies! I also love beets, I can eat them all day long:) They are perfect in summer salads. I have never heard of japanese sweet potatoes, but they surely are tasty.
You have a lot of work to do, girl! That´s great you are doing so many things for other people :)

Awesome finds!! I absolutely love the farmer’s market, too. It’s so much cheaper and fresher than supermarkets!

omg I absolutely LOVE the farmers market too, I can’t believe you got all that for 16 dollars!! (mine is soo expensive, which is okay since i love supporting them, but it’s seriously 6 dollars for a loaf of bread..expennnsive!) gahh love the beets + goat cheese combo too, it’s one of my fave summer salad combos. :) glad you’re having a crazy busy and fun summer! your jobs all sound amazingly fun:)

I love that you have kept a healthy eating lifestyle despite differences from people at school….i wish i had started earlier and they will definitely wish they had followed your lead when they get older and have health issues : )
