I woke up at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning and hopped out of bed. I was full of such excitement.
Open door glorious farmer's market. I grabbed my canvas bag and zipped on over to find farm fresh free range eggs, vibrant produce and even sinfully delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookies. I went crazy, like a kid in a toy store, and carried as many bags full of produce as I could carry. Everything was super affordable. I'm not joking when I say, if you fill your kitchen with such delicious food, there is ZERO craving for over processed crap food. One of the many reasons I am in love with California: fresh organic delicious affordable produce all fucking year round baby!!!
These cherries are orgasmic. Better than candy. Sweet. Rich. Sinfully decadent.
I don't even like strawberries but fell in love with these organic beauties. Fresh. Fragrant. For dessert I munched on the strawberries and bit of dark cholate. Can we say heaven?
Green goodness. Sugar snap peas. No need to cook. I ate them as is. So crunchy. Forget potato chips or any over processed junk-- I would eat sugar snap peas any day as a tasty snack.
I packed my lunches for the week. A salad bowl and a fruit bowl (cherries/strawberries/rasberries)
The best thing is I feel so healthy without even trying. I'm not giving up flavor. I am excited about going to work tomorrow just so I can eat my lunch -- and that's say a lot if you know me. The beauty of food gets me a bit choked up.

I am so jealous of your lunch. That looks delicious. And I am psyched about our markets opening here again soon. :)
Sometimes snap peas make my mouth itch when I eat them raw, which is really sad. Peas are, like, my favorite food. No joke.
Wow, I had no idea I wasn't the only one who got excited about going to work just so I could eat my lunch! :)
I love love love farmers markets. Partly why I heart big cities (NYC). I could spend all day shopping for fresh produce and lovely seafood! *sigh* The disadvantages of living in motherf*king country bumpkin land.
Okay, I am envying your lunch now! Ahh the joys of produce shopping on the left coast:) But as the weather warms, I shall be scouring my own resources in NYC and trying to find some yummy produce of my own. And, and I have to agree organic food just tastes SO much better. Enjoy your yummy treats!
