Lovely Spring Produce

I am SO excited that its finally spring (despite the spring showers) and I found some wonderful produce to stock my fridge last Saturday at the farmer's market!

Among my purchases, I picked up some of these lovely radishes and purple carrots from City Roots, these awesome purple spring onions and some flowers. 



And as a wonderfully decadent breakfast, I feasted on a fresh apple donut. Reminded me of apple picking in September! 




Yum! I'm a little stumped on what to make with the purple spring onions, so leave me a comment if you have any ideas! Have a wonderful day!

All Local Farmers' Market

I had the distinct pleasure of waking up late and walking over to the All Local Farmer's Market. I feel so blessed to have a farmers' market that focuses on the producers, because other farmers' markets allow resale products. Not quite the same... And I found out that there is a new business there- a local independent coffee roaster! I didn't bring enough money for the coffee this week, but I will be getting some soon!


Fresh Garlic! I've never seen it like this before.... so neat!

I picked up some radishes and fresh tarragon, as well as one of these adorable produce bags! It's made of unbleached cotton and the cute little design is hand embroidered! It was only $5 and just so cute! I had such a difficult time deciding between a peach, pear, apple and the eggplant I ended up with! She had so many different designs to choose from. I highly recommend buying one next week (at City Roots where the farmers' market will be because of the football game) if you live anywhere near Columbia!


I am trying to find a way to use the radish greens, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Farmer's Market Finds

Yesterday was our first Farmer's Market on campus for the year! Its only going to have a limited run (until the end of September) but I had a great time going to each of the booths and walking away with some great produce.

My favorite items are these eggplants. I think I'm going to try a crockpot recipe with them, but I'm not sure yet!


I also picked up some long beans, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, apples and peaches. And I tried the best peach tea ever. I'm stoked to go back to get the peach cider concentrate next week because I found out after I left that all you do is make black iced tea and add a little of the concentrate. Easy peasy, and super delicious!

I hope fresh produce inspires you this week :) Farmer's Markets are the bomb! I walked away with a ton of stuff for $12!
