Mmmm, Friday is getting closer – are you ready for the weekend? How about an alternate view of the ingredients of a Twinkie? Such an original photography idea and a different way to look at ingredients in processed foods. Lunch kind of looked like a salad explosion or tumor today.
I apparently wasn’t in my game taking phone pictures today, sorry. I tossed broccoli/cauliflower mash leftovers from last night and tossed with kale, fresh corn, red pepper and Annie’s Organic Mushroom dressing for a great combo.
After work, I picked up my dog from my dog-sitting mother and headed to opening night of our local farmer’s market.
For $10, I got 8 apricots, 5 huge peaches, a huge bag of green beans and a bag of huge beans I’ve never heard of and have no idea what to do with. But, that’s part of the farmer’s market adventure! I would have bought more, but our trip was cut short by “No Pets” signs posted everywhere. Bummer!
For dinner I got experimental with black beans creating a stew seasoned with mustard, oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic salt and dried parsley.
I added fresh mushrooms, zucchini and sauteed onions and it came out good, had a nice spice kick to liven up the beans without being overkill. It tasted a lot better than it looks! :-) Now I’m going to make Gena’s Pumpkin Seed Mylk for tomorrow before heading to bed. And, tomorrows Friday!
Your farmers market looks so awesome! You are so lucky to have access to so many delicious and fresh foods. And oh yum, that black bean stew looks fantastic! The addition of mustard must have made it even better.
you are reminding me i need to hit up a farmers market soon! happy friday christine……enjoy your weekend and don’t be too busy :)
That’s why I love farmer’s markets!
oooh love the looks of the farmer’s market! I could have a field day…oh wait, i probably will. I am living literally!! across the street from the biggest farmer’s market in San diego that’s every Sat morning. Heaven!!!!
Farmer’s markets are so good! I should go and check out the one in Bern today..
