A slow Saturday…

by Heather on July 18, 2009

Good Morning!  Matt and I got up this morning and enjoyed some Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Zucchini bread for breakfast.  I wanted to get moving so we would make it to the Farmer’s Market nice and early – so I hurried us out of the house.

But before we made it to the Farmer’s Market we made a pit stop at

Which has the most amazing iced tea.  I have no idea why, but it is.  I brought in my reusable cup which Honey Dew is happy to fill.

I love this cup because it is just like the ones they use – except its reusable. 

TRY THIS:  According to Ideal Bite, “If you purchase one cup of coffee every day in a disposable container, you create about 23 lb of waste each year.”  Furthermore, Styrofoam can actually “disrupt your hormones, and the chlorine used to bleach paper cups creates carcinogenic dioxins during production.”    There is a great article about how to select a great travel mug.  Its a good idea to have a few so you don’t have to worry about having to clean the same one every day.  I feel much less guilty indulging in my ice tea habit knowing I am using my own cup and reducing waste. 

On to breakfast…

I had my piece of bread with 1/2 butter and 1/2 cream cheese.  The cream cheese was my favorite 1/2. 

We made it to the Farmer’s Market was quite busy this morning.

Matt and I bought tons of produce – when we got home, I took a picture of it all!

Doesn’t that look great!  I got 3 things of blueberries (one to eat, one to freeze and one for a special recipe later this weekend), radishes, orange and yellow carrots, garlic, zucchini, corn, mixed greens, orange cauliflower, and two tomatoes.  All this cost about $35 – a little pricy, but I am willing to pay it knowing how fresh and local it is!

After a little while, we enjoyed some lunch.

Leftover Falafel (we had one patty left which we split), made into a grilled cheese on a deli flat.

Plus the leftover mixed greens from the Farmer’s Market LAST weekend.

Kinda looks like a pineapple doesn’t it?

Plus an overripe kiwi on the side.

Can’t wait for our dinner out tonight.  Its at a seafood restaurant and I’m trying to decide what to get.
