Haul of the Week: Mom's Know Best

I am pretty routine, every Saturday I hit up the gym to meet my friend for a circuit training class and then we hit the treadmills for some incline walking and gossiping. After that I hit up the farmers market to meet my Mom. My Mom is extremely into healthy clean eating, she has taught me so much over the years. It is fun to peruse the farmers market with her, while she gives me her opinion on different vegetables. These days I read my own health articles and am able to give insight on things as well , like how I plan to cook the fava beans I purchased. It's such a relaxing and healthy way to start the weekend.
For once I have no plans so we shall see where this weekend takes me. Anyone have fun plans this weekend?
In the mix: Rainbow chard, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow beets, cherries, strawberries, cilantro, spinach tortilla's, asparagus and fava beans.
Yay for Mom's knowledge, healthy eating, and gossiping on treadmills.

  5. I always forget about Farmer's Markets! I know your blog is primarily fashion-based, but I would be so interested in reading more on healthy clean eating. I am interested in doing this - not sure where to start!!

  6. i seem to be doing more education with my mom these days (though she would like to think differently) - that's wonderful that you and your mom have such a terrific relationship, especially when it comes to food.
