Farmer Market - Round 2

So my trip to the Farmers Market this week proved to be more of a challenge than the previous. Since I am in my 34th week of pregnancy (8 months) walking around is becoming more of a challenge. While I did make a round before making any purchases I did not have the patience to browse like I did the week before.

Instead I went to the same vendors as the previous week since their produce was great and seemed to be the best priced. So I ended up purchasing the following...
  • $2.50 - ciabatta (2)
  • $1.25 - carrots (with greens)
  • $1.00 - jalapenos (large bag)
  • $1.00 - cilantro
  • $8.00 - green drink
I purchase the items that I needed in order to make fresh pico de gallo for my family. It is one of my favorite condiments to put on chicken, fish or anything else you choose. Simply chop some tomatoes, cilantro, red onion and a jalapeno... then put some lime juice, salt and pepper and you have the most deliciously fresh condiment for your food.

The "green drink" I purchased is mainly for the new baby. It tastes like grapefruit juice but is essentially a prenatal vitamin in a cup... and I a no good at taking pills so I figured that I would give it a try.

I am pretty sure that next week will be my last shot at going to the farmers market until the baby is born... but I will continue my blog and keep track of where my food comes from. I will do my best to purchase the organic equivalents and more locally grown items.
