To market, to market!

The farmers market goodies are organic mangos and flavored goat cheese. I learned that my Cabrietta cheese would not be available until Jan or Feb! Gasp! I can make, I can make it....I think.

My daughter is a lover of hot cereal and fruit in the mornings! It's her favorite. It's filling and healthy so no biggie. But in trying to introduce new food. I will give her french toast tomorrow morning.

I took the following items. Bread, cinnamon, salt, egg and honey.

Wisked together and cut the bread into little "sticks".

Into the heated butter they went.

And out the delicious sticks came out. I hope she likes them. For the recipe please go to http://www.weelicious.com/ the best source for kiddie recipes.

Yummy Goodness!

Breakfast
This is so quick and easy that I am finding myself making it almost everyother day.

Spinach with onions go into the pan with egg.

In an effort to use something other than bread, meet my new friends.

Ta-da! Oh yeah, some cheese made its way in there! Gooey goodness

Lunch

Again the wraps made their way into lunch. Chicken with salad lettuce with a few black beans sprinkled in. That the only thing with being a small family and really the only one to eat some of these things I buy. I find myself making alot of repeats throughout the week in an effort to not let things go to waste.

And lunch was ready for work.

The weather is really changing. I cannot wait to eat oatmeal. I LOVE oatmeal. I love all the stuff you can put inside of it. Crunchy nuts, almond butter, honey, yyyyyuuuuuummmmmm. I think next week we will start. I am also debating on whether I should be making this oatmeal at work. I find myself taking the egg with me and eating it on my drive it. Impossible to do with oatmeal, so perhaps I should just have it at work. Besides I am the only one on my floor for at least an hour and half. What's the harm. We will see.

Updates Updates!

Lunch
Wrap with chicken breast, mushrooms, lettuce. Side of guacamole. Chili with crackers. And the never to be missing, cucumber water. This was so filling!



Dinner
Oven baked breaded chicken breast. Side of guacamole, black beans and canned corn with mayo and parmesean cheese. How I wish the corn would have been roasted, takes me back to my visits to Mexico.



Weekend Update.

This weekend was so great! We started Saturday with a walk to the grocery store to pick up a few things missing for lunch. Then we continued the walk towards the park. She loved it. She loved pointing out at the birds and she ran after all the dogs she saw at the park.

We visited the Highland Village Farmers Market and the Urban Harvest Eastside Farmers market! The farmers market bug bit us hard! We were on a mission. And now I am addicted to:

Cabrietta goat cheese, yummy. I have spread it on bread, as a side to my salads, with breakfast eggs and straight from the container. YUMMY. I must have more!!! We arrived two hours after opening time at the Highland market and still found alot of parking. So convenient and everyone was so friendly and informative! The setup was great and ample for me to navigate with the stroller.

The eastside market was a little chaotic. A wider selection of goods and veggies. I noticed that the same indian food and goat cheese vendors were there. There was alot more veggies and alot more energy. Serious shoppers rolling their ice chests behind them. Now that is dedicated! I might just have to copy them since I had to bring my eggs in a plastic bag with ice cubs. There was a mobile food truck, a juice bar, and more spices and flowers. It was nice to have such a greater selection but I prefer the quietness of the Highland market.

I bought 4 cucumbers for my water, organic mango snacks, water spinach and eggs.

How is that for authentic?

We had such a great time sampling so much food and buying our goodies. The chicken samosas were devine! I will definately get some this weekend. Since the weather here in Houston is cool, it is perfect for making the farmers market "our thing" to do on Saturday mornings.
