Hillcrest Farmer's Market

Every Sunday I start my day by going to the farmer's market and stocking up on fresh fruits and veggies.  I usually buy way too much but it tends to last a couple of weeks and works out in the end.

Here is today's bounty:

Clockwise from the pita bread we have

Radishes

Red Chard

Beets complete with beet greens

Carrots

Collard Greens

Parsley

Peach

Nectarine

Green and Yellow Zucchini

Cucumbers

Brussel Sprouts

Corn

Green Beans

Apples 

Onions

Tomatoes

Grapes

Lemons 

and 

Cauliflower

Usually I would buy more carrots as well as some cherry tomatoes but I have an over abundance from last week.  I also still have a green bell pepper and 2 heads of lettuce.  Sound like a whole lot of vegetables?  I think so too especially since Niall will eat the cauliflower, maybe the brussel sprouts and the green beans, the apples and that's about it.  I see lots of salads and stir-frys in my future along with some zucchini pasta which I am so excited to try!

I spent about $55 total which I used to think sounded like a lot until I started thinking about how much I would spend per week if I bought processed foods or ate out.  Plus, I get to support local agriculture and get fresh veggies and fruits that were just picked.  Yum.
