Farmer’s Market Adventures

^If we didn’t already have like 5 types of jams in the fridge, I would have been more tempted to bring home one of these delicious looking concoctions
^Just checking out some fresh herbs – I am going to miss the day when I can no longer carry Lincoln around just inches from my face. 
^A local chef was there letting us taste test his creations and this grilled vegetable hummus was fantastic! Basically you grill eggplant, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and kalamato olives, and garbanzo beans and then you blend it all together with a dash of paprikia and olive oil and top with feta cheese. 

^We picked up some cut basil and got to talking to the local ‘gardener of herbs’ about my inability to keep a basil plant alive. He has some great tips for planting basil but suggested we just go for the cut basil now and next year prep soil for our own plant. If we keep the cut basil in water, in a light place (but not direct sunlight) and change the water every other day, we should be able to use it for six weeks! I feel like my basil from the grocery store goes bad in three days so I’m excited to see if this works. 

^I’ve been living in these shoes since I ordered them two weeks ago – the birkenstock look has made a huge comeback (and I still have a pair of old ones I lived in during high school…) but these floral ones are so fun! 
^the squash we picked up at the market just hanging out in purse…next time we’ll be better prepared with more cash and a little bag for produce


My shoes are from Famous Footwear (by Madden Girl) and I’ve been eyeing them for months and love them just as much as anticipated. Check out the #ohsofamous style gallery to get inspiration and see the variety that Famous Footwear has for the whole family (it makes me a bit too excited for Lincoln to start wearing shoes..and to start back to school shopping in a few years :D).
