Farm to face

I had SUCH a super Saturday. I hit up the farmer’s market, I went for a run, I bicycled, and I made a nice dinner with my beau. It’s too bad I had to work Sunday…which really put a damper on the evening’s karaoke (in hindsight, I’m definitely thinking this is a good thing).

Kyle and I made dinner from our Farmer’s Market loot.

The menu:

Chilled green bean & grape tomato salad with truffle oil & balsamic vinegar
Bell pepper skewers
Grilled avocado with salt and lime juice
Field Roast Grain Meat Co. Smoked Apple and Sage vegan sausage

Eating organic fresh produce that is literally straight from the farm tastes AMAZINGLY different (better) than grocery store produce. Dinner was fantastic.

I’ll post recipes later, for now I’d like to usher you all to bid on auction items here. Especially vegan and gluten free quinoa granola. 😉

Such a deliciously looking meal! I really enjoy farmer´s markets – so many fresh produce, looking SO much better than the supermarket´s versions 🙂

e, where’d you get the truffle oil from? k and i were just talking about getting some for the household when she comes for a visit next cuz we grilled our romaine lettuce for our caesar sarrad sat and thought it would be a nice touch if instead of evoo, we used truffle oil. =)

I lurve truffle oil! Whenever there’s something with truffle on a menu I háve to order it. I love the idea of grilled avocado! How do you grill it? Just put it on the grill and that’s it?

I’ve bid twice already today – fingers crossed!

I’ve never thought to grill avocado. I grew up on a farm and I don’t think I realized the difference in produce between what we grew and what I could buy in a store until I moved to Manhattan. Now I love to come home in the summer and pick fresh fruits and veggies.

Looks like you got some really delicious things at the market. I love coming home after shopping from the farmer’s market and going straight to the grill!
