Not Pinterest food!

Trying to clean out the fridge today, so I made this stuff for my lunch.

Blanched asparagus, with a shallot/lemon dressing I just whipped up and mashed parsnips.

This was supposed to be a quinoa lentil vegetable soup, but I didn't have any quinoa, so I used brown rice instead.  Quite delicious.

This morning I made these for the boys before Sunday School:

Parmesan crusted tilapia for dinner.  Smells good.

This is supposed to be a bird eating a worm.  The kids didn't get it.

It's going to be a food kind of day.

One of my lovely internet friends posted a delicious recipe for some gluten-free banana muffins on her blog, so I decided to make them today.  They look and smell delicious.  I'm too busy eating the salad you see here to have tried one of the muffins, yet, but that will be dessert!

If you look really closely, you'll see a couple of green things that look like mini wedges of watermelon.  Those are heirloom green tomatoes.  I got a box of small heirloom tomatoes at Whole Foods.  They are beautiful and delicious.

I knew I should have gone there sooner . . .

The Indoor Winter Farmer's Market at Shaker Square, that is.

I love going to the outdoor market in the summer, and have always planned to go to the indoor one, but something or other has always prevented me from doing so.  Well, I finally made it there today, and it's very small compared to the summer market, but as you can see below, I found plenty of stuff to buy.

I bought a free range chicken, some nitrite free bacon, a honey/olive oil soap, garlic, radishes, zucchini, onions, apples, rainbow chard, arugula, and romaine- all from local farms.  I also bought some Sweet Fire goat cheese from MacKenzie Creamery- love that stuff.  That will be my diet splurge this week.  Got some fresh baked goods for the kids and my sis.  And, I bought a glass bottle of milk!!!  It's from Wilmot, OH, which is a lot closer than the milk I'd been buying from Whole Foods which comes from southern Ohio.  This milk is from 100% pasture fed cows, low heat pasteurized and not homogenized.  Let's hope Andrew likes it, since he will now only drink the kind of milk you have to shake!  Ha Ha Ha!

I also stopped by Whole Foods to pick out some fruit and other veggies, and they had some lovely organic grapefruits and organic golden beets.  So, I juiced the grapefruit and beets with some carrots and ginger I already had and voilà- Sunshine in a Glass!  Mmmmm.  Nice pick me up for a cold and snowy winter day.
