Torbay Farmers Market

Today I went to the Torbay Farmers Market with my family to buy vegetables. It was a beautiful sunny day. When we got there I saw a farmer with vegetables that were in baskets and plastic bins. Before we bought the veggies we had some fun.

We went inside and looked around. Mom and dad sampled the sweet and sour turnip & carrot relish. They liked it and bought a jar. I waited until we got home to taste it. It smelled sour. I tasted it and it was too, too sour! I think they put too much vinegar and not enough sugar. Look at my face it looks sour just like the relish. I look funny.

While we were still at the market we went and had some lunch. We ate healthy all week and today I had a treat. The men had a little food trailer with pizza cones, chips, and candy bars. It had a microwave and speakers too. I had a BBQ chicken pizza cone. It was cool! The pizza dough was shaped as an ice cream cone. They stuffed BBQ chicken, cheese and sauce into the cone. They heated it in the microwave. I found out they put spicy in the sauce, but it was still good. Here is a picture of me with the pizza cone. I think I will try to make this myself on my youtube video, but I will not have it spicy.

I also had cupcake on a stick. It was a mini chocolate cupcake with blue icing and sprinkles and one M&M on top. It smelled awesome and looked delicious! I gobbled it up in two bites. There was no sour in this cupcake so that was good. It was all sweet.

Here is me and my brother, Alexander. He was tired and fussy so he wouldn't smile for the picture.

Before we left we went back to the farmer and bought kale and I picked out a bunch of beet. I wonder what we can make with it. I will talk to my dad to see what I can make with the beet. I hope he will let me use the stove for the first time.

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Greek Pita

Keeping up with healthy eating is not an easy task. We have been eating reasonably well, but it is tough to break old habits. I caved once in the past bit and grabbed Burger King for dinner for the family. This past Friday evening was beautiful and I really didn't feel like attempting some big meal. I had already had thaw ed some boneless, skinless chicken breast and thought that some sort of sandwich would be ideal. We had all the fixin's for a Greek Pita so that's what I did. I love my Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker and use it for almost everything including to grill chicken. I didn't add any seasoning... just threw them on two at a time. I got together all of the ingredients: Whole Wheat Pita Pockets, diced onion & tomato, sliced black olives, feta cheese and lettuce. For lettuce I always use my lettuce spinner that I bought at Costco some time ago. Christian absolutely loves when I call him to spin the lettuce out. It's like a toy to him. I also used...

Jerk Shrimp Taco with Pina Colada Crema

Tacos are such an easy meal and even though we like the typical ground beef taco we are always up for a new twist. I found this idea on pinterest and changed it up to fit what we had on hand. The original recipe said to 'drizzle' the crema, but mine was too thick to drizzle so I piped it on. Also, I subbed canned pineapple instead of fresh pineapple. The taste was still delicious though. The original recipe called for a homemade jerk marinade. We could've done it, but I already had dry jerk seasoning in the pantry so hubby combined it with some OJ and soy sauce to make a marinade. It worked out very well. We subbed green cabbage instead of red and used a Pineapple Habanero Sauce that we had in the fridge instead of a homemade pineapple salsa. And even though I know that the fresh grilled pineapple salsa would've been absolutely delicious, the sauce sub was also very, extremely tasty. And ...
