market day

i joined a farmer's market co-op a few months ago.

what a great decision that has been!

there are between 10-12 families that each contribute &

 everyone rotates driving to the state market.

since that only means about once a year making the commute

all other months, i just drive to my girlfriends home, around the corner & pick up my stash.

we're able to buy bulk/wholesale

& ta-da

look at what 20 bucks will get you!

my turn to drive was this week

& honestly wanted to photograph all the glorious goodies

but i forgot to bring the camera,
so today's images are from last months run
(except for the lemon shots).

anyway, since i have a honeycrisp apple lover in the house, 

we scored some jonagold ( which are supposed to be just as yummy)

the most beautiful & ginormous sweet potatoes i've ever seen,

cantaloupes that were the most perfectly colored throughout,

& loads of other fresh in season goods.

i also purchased one of my favorite kitchen staples, lemons.

which when bought in bulk averages out to about 376 per family ~ give or take ;)

by the way, several of ya'll asked about the print below,

you can find it here

i'm also trying to be better about taking supplements

so i thought i'd photograph the irony of the purple fred flinstones sitting beside a bag of perfect grapes.

guess if all i feed my family was on this very counter, maybe i wouln't need 

fish oil & multivitamins.

but what do i know?

 

i found a couple lemon cookie recipes to share with you too

glazed lemon cookies

&

chewy lemon cookies

both of which sound wonderful!

alrighty, hope ya'll have a great weekend!
