Another week at the Farmer's Market. I am going to miss this so much during the winter. I'll still go, but I'll miss the vast variety that I've been accustomed to. I was hesistant about purchasing cucumbers as I have a couple that are about to be done in my garden, but I figured for $1.00, I couldn't go wrong. I'll just have to bring them every day in my lunch. The broccoli was a tad expensive, but I will say that I steamed it and I have never seen such a beautiful green. Much different thant he store bought stuff. I made a batch of veggie burgers and fries from scratch. I'll be posting the recipe. The veggie burger was fantastic. It was actually sturdy enough to go on the grill and tasted fabulous. I didn't buy fresh berries.... but these were cheaper and since my blueberry picking place was out of them at this moment.. I just went the easy route... although they were picked in NJ and that's kind of local.
Zucchini (3 very large)----------------$1.00
Broccoli (3 small heads)---------------$3.00
Strawberries (1 quart)----------------$1.50
Blueberries (1 pint)-------------------$1.50
Potatoes (14)-------------------------$3.00
Apples (3 - I ate one)-----------------$1.00
Donut peaches (9)--------------------$3.00
Mango (1)----------------------------$1.00
Green peppers (5)--------------------$2.00
Limes (4)-----------------------------$1.00
Lemons (2)---------------------------$1.00
Cucumbers (4)------------------------$1.00
Total = $20.00
I have also decided that I am going to pick up at least one new spice per week at "The Spice Rack". He buys them in bulk and sells reasonable amounts for a good price. This week I purchased celery seeds (crushed), whole allspice, some orange nonpareils and football/helmet sprinkles that I plan to use during football season. My total for all this was $4.70.
