| As always, I hit up the Redmond Farmer’s Market on Saturday. So glad tomatoes are ripe and ready to go! |
 |
| With my newly purchased kale, I tried out these low fat lasagna roll ups. Turned out pretty good, but I can’t wait to experiment with the next batch! |
 |
| Finally tried Malibu Black over the weekend – I’m in love – and a bit more intoxicated. |
I made my weekly grocery store trip to Fred Meyer on Sunday and look what was in the parking lot – The Wienermobile! Usually, I’m pretty unfazed by silly things such as this but I found myself 1) parking as close as I could get to it 2) whipping out my iphone and taking WAY too many pictures and 3) actually stepping inside the darn thing to see the interior (BTW – it has a flat screen). I’m now one of “those” people. Ugh.
I’m still getting my monthy Birchbox shipment and this month’s is a goodie! So many products to try out -love it! So far, I’ve tried the Juicy perfume and Whipped lotion (both smell like candy…is that a good or bad thing??) and the Pillow Soft Curl Cream (smells like a grandma but works well!).
I’m getting a nice little collection of beauty swag going, which is perfect for travelling. Thank goodness we’re headed to Texas in a month so I can really put these products to work! I’ve been hanging on to these cat eye’s eyeliner stickers that will be sa-weet for rocking out at Austin City Limits.

| A lovely gift from my sister. She knows me too well! |

| Hand picked by yours truly! |
Ahhhh….summer. The peak of fresh fruit and vegetables. I love nothing more than hitting up the local farmer’s market first thing on a Saturday morning. The lovely lettuce, the tempting tomatoes, the cute carrots…..I could go on and on and on. Knowing my love for all things veg, my sister gifted me with this beauty over the weekend. At first I thought it was a summer squash but then zucchini popped into mind. I sent out a few emails to my produce peeps to see who could ID this bad boy. Either way, it will be cooked into something delicious this week!
I have no problems dumping lots-o-dough at the farmer’s market (Support Local!) but I have a tough time forking over the cash for blackberries. Every weekend, I breeze by those berry stands knowing that in a few short weeks I’ll be scouring my neighborhood for these tempting treats. Who needs to pay $5 per pint when you can pick them for FREE! We freeze most of them the day they are picked and nothing beats tossing a handful into oatmeal with some walnuts and a splash of almond milk to get your day started. If I can pick enough this year, blackberry jam might be on the menu. Now we’re talking…….
