I often find myself in a food rut. I know my pictures on Instagram might imply otherwise but for me it often comes back to a desire for variety and creativity with food. Even though I’ve been at this whole foods/primal approach to eating for almost a year now sometimes when you eat primarily vegetables,…

Farmers Market 2/21/13
Nothing too exciting to report this week. Once again I didn’t make time to plan anything for next week so I just kind of went with the usual. No fruit this week due to an abundance of bananas and strawberries… it kind of feels incredibly wrong buying strawberries at this time of year but dang…
Farmers Market 2/14/13
Not much to report from the market today. Didn’t really get much of a game plan for the next week so I stocked up on some staples and few items that are workable. Been using a lot more kale so I decided to buy 2 bunches instead of 1 for the week. We’ll see how…
Farmers Market 2/7/13
No messing around this week. Writing and posting this post on the actual day I went to the market. Pretty much standard stuff this week. Still have a fair amount of citrus from last week so I didn’t need to buy any. Though I did notice that the prices are starting to creep up. Most…
Farmers Market 1/24/13
Pretty minimal farmers market run today. Almost didn’t go but am glad I did. Kale Green onions Carrots Avocado Pomello Cara cara oranges Blood oranges Pink lady apples Lemons And one item I couldn’t resist… a bag of very rip persimmons for $1. Not sure what I will do with them but I will have…
Farmers Market 1/17/13
Another week of January is gone and another trip to the market is done. I probably shouldn’t have bought more fruit as I think I still have enough to get through another week. But I want to experiment more this year with all the citrus. Specifically blood oranges. They may not be as sweet as…
Farmers Market 11/15/12
While there is technically several more market days before thanksgiving, this is my final market before thanksgiving. Not that it matters that much given that I am not preparing the Thanksgiving meal and am instead brining a casserole that is full of stuff you don’t get at the farmers market. I was kind of amazed…
Farmers Market 11/8/12
What bright crisp morning at the market today. After a nice little heat wave we are cooling back down to autumn weather. The seasonal change of the market is finally taking place. Apples, pears, and grapes are the front runners in fruit. Along with a heavy showing of persimmons and pomegranates. Noticed several vendors with…
Farmers Market 10/18/12
The fruit I picked up today kind of strikes me. It just doesn’t seem right that I can buy peaches, watermelon, and grapes straight from the farmers market. California growing seasons never cease to amaze, nor the sheer access I have to so many different fruits and veggies because of my geographical location. I mean…
Farmers Market 9/13/12
Back to our regularly scheduled program today! After any time away, even if it is just two weeks, it is really fascinating to see how the season is moving along. Grapes are every where in the market now. Cherry tomatoes are gone, but the price of heirlooms are starting to come down. The big fruit…
Farmers Market 5/31/12
Sometimes I am blown away at the prices I find at the farmers market. Take the green beans, for example. That’s over 2 1/2 pounds of green beans. How much did I pay for them? $1. Yep, 1 dollar. They aren’t old either. Now I’m not quite sure what I am going to do with…
Farmers Market 4/5/12
A day late, I know! But I did get back to the market yesterday after being gone for nearly two weeks. It really did feel like I overbought but I didn’t. Instead I ended up splurging on 3 “new to me” items. Making up for the last couple of weeks? Maybe. Satsumas Guava (possibly green…
