Just went to the Regional Farmer's Market this morning and the produce and wonderful bounty from the farms and gardens - an incredible display. It is almost too overwhelming for me. In a way, it kind of makes me feel guilty because if I did what I should, I would buy lots of produce and can or freeze it for the winter months when the fresh stuff will be from somewhere else. I just can't seem to handle such a task and I am not sure what the reason/excuse is. In any case, everything that I bought was beautiful - from the peppers to the corn to the peaches and more. Not only do I have the Regional Market, but I have been getting some zucchini, tomatoes and basil from my own garden. Yesterday I made zucchini bread and it is obvious from the other 4 huge ones sitting on my kitchen counter that I had better make some more. The zucchini bread was made with egg substitute which I had never used before and I also added craisins and walnuts. I have never been much of a gardener, so actually being successful this year is quite exciting. Yesterday, I also bought a new bigger food processer to make some interesting fresh meals. Last night we had sweet potato fries and veggie burgers with toasted buns, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles. Hard to beat! Talking about great vegan food, I am definitely addicted right now to the waffles at the local vegan restaurant. I get it with fresh fruit and real maple syrup. If I could get away with eating it for every meal every day, I definitely would. Enjoy the bounty of this time of year.
