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.

Haul of the Week: Grand Opening

While I was strolling around my local farmers market Grand Opening, in my gym clothes may I add, a Photographer came up to me and happily asked me if he could use the pictures he took of me shopping for the local commercial. Umm, thanks for letting me know after the fact dude. Well lets hope when they review those tapes they decide against including the gym in her gym clothes.
Anyways, now that my local farmers market is back in town I plan to hit it up every Saturday. Buying local can help foods when possible is something I am pretty passionate about. I know it can be expensive but even just buying a few local items make a huge difference.

This week's haul:
Yellow beets, cherries, strawberries, 2 bouquets of local flowers, spinach, onions, tomatoes, humus, asparagus, cranberry beans, cilantro and a Thai Young Coconut for sipping as I picked my produce for the week.
Yay for farmers market season!
