I actually had to bribe myself to go to Farmer’s Market this morning. (oh the promises of a salted caramel Frappuccino) But I’m glad I went, because look at what I got!
In the net bag are 20 roma tomatoes. These, along with the oregano (top left), assorted sweet peppers, and basil (middle right), will be used to make more tomato sauce this weekend. Right now is the best time to nab these ingredients while they’re still cheap! Peppers are at the end of their season now and prices will start climbing like mad. Tomatoes are also nearing the end of their season but they stay reasonably priced throughout.
Also got more lemon cucumbers and regular cucumbers, as well as my old standbys, the green bell peppers. These are all for snacking and salads. They’re great with cousous. Zucchini were looking very nice and the price was right, so I scored a half dozen to start prepping for quickbreads/muffins (which freeze beautifully). Also got some organic whole-wheat oatmeal raisin cookies for the roommate. And this time instead of bread, I bought tortillas (locally made). One pack is garlic black bean and the other is rosemary olive. These will make GREAT lunch wraps for the next month fo sho.
Last week I didn’t post a pic because The Boyfriend was in town and Farmer’s Market was a very brief trip. But I got 20 romas then as well (which will be added to this week’s haul for the big batch of sauce), plus some cilantro, a yellow onion, two green bell peppers, and some pb choc chip oatmeal cookies. Almost all of that went towards our Labor Day party. Huzzah!
