This (cold and snowy) mornings trip to the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market reminded me that spring can't be too far away now! *fingers crossed* I am so excited and inspired to start my own fresh veggie garden this year.
I am a huge supporter of purchasing local produce (and everything else for that matter) because they are generally fresher= tastier and higher in nutrients, less and safer pesticides are used, if any at all (you can speak to the farmers about their agriculture practices as many can not afford an expensive organic certification), you are supporting your local economy, and reducing your environmental foot print!!
Today's loot;
-Salad shoots (assortment of sprouts)
-Cherry tomatoes
-Green beans
-Carrots
-Tzatziki
-Wild Sockeye salmon
-Ground extra lean bison.
I have never really cooked bison before, so this should be a fun experiment in the kitchen this coming week. Hopefully something delicious and healthy is created to share :)
After my shopping trip, I made breaky with today's fresh groceries.. Toast with tzatziki, sliced tomatoes, and sprouts.
