California Juicin'

Yesterday I went to my second Hillcrest Sunday Farmer's Market. I was so impressed the first week, I looked forward to going again all week! Charlie was on duty so it was a solo mission this time. One stop for gas ($4.19) and I was there. A women walking to her car saw me looking for a parking space and waited until I came back around to leave her spot. Awesome! I made sure to pass on the favor when I was leaving. I stocked up on veggies for the week and a few other fun things. This weeks special fruit: Nectarines! A personal favorite of mine, not so much Charlie, he can have bananas :) And...I got him tortilla chips. He will be happy. My coolest buy of the day though was my GreenFix smoothie. I sampled this last week and should have bought it then. Ingredients include: Kale, Collard greens, Romaine, Dandelion greens, Parsley, Water, Apple juice, Apple, Banana and Flax seed. So super healthy and it tastes so delicious. I bought one and drank it there and then also a quart for home. When I got home I read more about it and learned it has a huge following here. People basically follow them around to all the farmers markets all week and drink up.  


Looks like another great week. Although this is hot for SD. 


We made this on Sunday night. It was really good. I saw the recipe on a blog I like to read titled Whollyeats! You grill the watermelon first and then drizzle on the dressing. 
 

Heres a look at the garden center at the Nex. Next time I am buying my flowers here instead of Lowes because they look so much better! And I love the pink hibiscus!




Two magazines came for me in the mail today and a card from my grandmother! Good mail day! I think I'll read one :)
