Farm flowers

 We met a new friend last night, and he happens to work on a farm. So we drove over there today and got to pick a bunch of produce including different varieties of lettuce, tomatoes and bok choy. We also bought some fingerling potatoes, heirloom tomatoes and a pie pumpkin. I got to pick some flowers and take home this mini pumpkin. There's nothing like picking produce and then taking it home and eating it for lunch.  Yum!

Good morning


Homemade granola with oats, walnuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds, pecans, golden raisins, flax seeds, cinnamon, salt, almond extract and olive oil.  Served with greek yogurt, topped with strawberries, fuji apples and chia seeds.  Side of green tea.

We've been trying to eat healthier these days, cutting down on sugar, meats and fats in our diet.  Thus, the meatless meals I've posted lately.  W has lost 7 lbs.  I made this granola without adding any sugar, honey or maple syrup, but I realize I don't miss it because the fruits add natural sweetness.  The ingredients listed above are all that I put in it!
