to the market i go

i get so giddy on friday nights. its like christmas cuz saturdays are farmer's markets days in my hood. and i'm lucky to live only a few blocks from my favorite market to date. i just love buying local fresh foods. it feels so good and tastes even better. i got to go raspberry picking while in rhode island at the most charming garden center. if i lived there, which i just may one day (its a gem that rhode island) i would pay a weekly visit and fill my yard and gardens with their luxurious plants & shrubs.

we're having a beach day tomorrow and i'm fixin' to make this delicious capellini dish by ina garten for dinner. i love the barefoot contessa! this recipe calls for lots of fresh herbs and veggies that i'll snap up from the market. yippee. ooooh, and this virgin sangria looks mighty tasty. done!

its my goal to start cooking more. i've been compiling summer recipes and planning meals i'll never make on pinterest (my current addiction and i think the best visual bookmarking site ta boot). this book looks like a goodie. oooh, and i got super jazzed when i found this farm in malibu. i think this is the perfect mid-week activity to boost my fridge and earthy spirit! wishing you a tasty, sweet weekend. xo
