Sweet Greens

Last Sunday was the kickoff of our farmer’s market season – or as they call them in South Florida, GreenMarket. As usual, it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning – we had a blast. Here are some shots from our day. 

We tasted some fantastic and local oyster mushrooms – love the color too!

 I love the real, unbleached Lufa Sponge – have you tried one?

It was a super hot day – Eben NEEDED a frozen local lemonade!

Do you have a fall farmer’s market where you live?

A slow cooker can be a busy parent’s best friend — especially on busy school nights when you want to serve your family a hot meal, but have no prep time whatsoever. Slow cookers are capable of doing a lot more than just slow-cooking meat. There are delicious vegan meals you can make in your Crockpot or slow-cooker as well. The best part is, you can toss in all of the ingredients, set the timer and forget it, at least until dinner time. And after long school and work days, dishing up a home cooked, vegan meal that is ready and waiting is the perfect way to savor the evening without having to rush around trying to throw a last-minute meal together. Jump over to Inhabitots for ten delicious, vegan slow-cooker dishes (including desserts!) to add to your family’s menu. These dishes are perfect for fall and will warm up your family on all of those cool autumn nights.
