Happy Tuesday all! Is that all, really, it’s only Tuesday…..It feels like it should be AT LEAST Wednesday. I had the chance to start my day off in a different way today and all I have to say is that I wish EVERY day could start out like this. This week was my turn to pick up the Farmer’s Market Goodies for work and since everyone is always gone on Fridays, I picked today.
First though I was a good wife and brought The Husband as Starbuck’s since he had to go into work at 3 AM. I couldn’t resist getting a Venti Non-Fat Decaf Latte with Caramel Drizzle on top. It is similar to a caramel macchiato but it has less calories since I leave out the fake tasting sugary vanilla syrup.
Next, it was off to the Tuesday Farmer’s Market….I specifically went to this one because the Bolani Bread boys are there…..but, *gasp* They were NOWHERE to be found. So bummed! I still scored some fantastic stuff for the office.
White & Yellow Nectarines
White & Yellow Peaches
Pluots
Apricots
Plums
Asian Pears
Strawberries
Blackberries
Grapes
Red & Yellow Cherry Tomatoes
Lemon Pita Chips
Wheat & White Wheat Pita bread
3 types of hummus – Roasted Red Pepper, Artichoke something and Black Bean Chipolte
Cinnamon Roll Bread
Honey Sticks
I couldn’t decide what to get so I got a little of everything. I did miss out on getting nuts though ~ Eh, oh well! I made up a sampler plate for breakfast.
The Blackberries are amazingly sweet!
Plus some Fantastic Organic Strawberries!
Crunchy sweet grapes!
Some veggies to round it out ~ two types or cherry tomatoes
Wheat Pita bread with a little sample of each (ALL amazing – The Hummus Guy might be my new favorite!) plus one gigantic lemon pita chip. Yep, I ate hummus before NOON!
The Cinnamon Roll Bread was hot out of the oven when I got it. She brought it straight to the market and didn’t even have me close the bags. So doughy, sweet and good. I actually went back for another 1/2 piece – YUM! I cannot even describe how good this bread was even with the big chunks of raw sugar on top!
I will be snacking on all of this all morning ~ such a fun breakfast. I LOVE sampler plates!

Have a great day all ~ see you all late this afternoon!
