Went to a really great Farmers Market in Irvington, New York (http://irvmkt.org/), a small town outside of the city on the banks of the Hudson River. A beautiful day it was, with several tents filled with Farmers, Bakers, Coffee Roasters, Specialty Food Creators, live music and more. So important to Buy Local, Better for you, your health, and your community.
I stopped to talk to Rashaun from Dan Madura Farms. He was knowledgeable, nice, and full of enthusiasm about his wares.
It is his father’s farm and he sold me some fresh shallots, oyster mushrooms, and beets with the greens.
One of my favorite things to do in the whole world is to cook, especially for people I love. It truly relaxes me, and sparks a creativity in me that just flows naturally. Admittedly I am not good at keeping track of what I am doing but I am working on it. Usually I’m in a rush putting together large, fast, healthy meals for my kids…but today was a nice relaxing Sunday at Jodi’s house. I made us roasted beets, sautéed beet greens, shallots, and oyster mushrooms. Paired them with some pan roasted quinoa and marinated grilled tempeh. Healthy, Vegan, and Delicious.
I do intend to put up recipes for all of the food…just not ready yet. I will and you will be the first to know!
It was pretty exciting to put it all together, and Jodi and I worked a long time on the pictures…..(baby boomers that we are).
We did get to eat it though…finally! She loved it…An empty plate tells the story
