Saturday Farmers Market & A Lovely Lunch

I love the farmer’s market, and I’ve been going with my parents since I was a little girl.

There’s just something about the atmosphere and the spirit that I find so special.

Plus, it’s a great way to support local farmers, buy sustainable and organic products, and take advantage of what’s in season.

One of my favorite things about the farmers market is discovering new and unique variations of vegetables.

Today I picked up some yellow beets, purple carrots, and blue potatoes.

They are so beautiful, and I couldn’t help but feel like a kid in a candy store picking out which ones to take home.

Yesterday my boyfriend, a big fan of the Paleo movement, made an amazing nut bread.

It was filled with a variety of nuts, seeds, and eggs and was packed with flavor, healthy omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, and was just plain delicious.

He’s always coming up with new variations and knows how to make them.

Just a heads-up though – it’s pretty energy dense, almost like chocolate, but it will fill you up and keep you going for a while.

It’s also gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

I made a classic of mine to go with the bread – a smoked trout and smoked cream cheese mousse.

Trout is coming to the end of its peak season (April-September), and it’s a delicious and tender fish, similar to salmon but with less oil.

You can also make the mousse with similar products such as salmon or mackerel.

It’s easy, delicious, and healthy if you use fatty fish with good oils.

And as we head into the fall and winter months, it’s important to remember that we need high levels of dietary vitamin D to keep our levels up until the sun returns in the summer.

Oily fish is one of the best sources of vitamin D.
