Joy's Organic Kitchen

I have often been asked how I prepare healthy food on a daily basis. This is my way to show you my daily life with food: shopping at the Hollywood Farmers Market; turning beautiful produce into delicious feasts; buying, storing and cooking food within the confines of my busy life; and doing it all on a budget. I hope you will get some ideas that will fit into your life; and an expanded way of looking at food and its connection with your body, your health, your community and the planet.

Sunday Shopping

If you ever see organic Gaviota strawberries for sale, buy them. They taste like strawberry jam - rich and dark and sweet and full of flavor.

Harry's Berries, which has finally gone organic, was selling these gems today, and I bought a three-pack. We will gorge on these all week, because it's a short window that they will be available.

As if that wasn't awesome enough, Finley Farms had the first organic corn of the season. Wow. This week is going to be delicious.

Here's what we bought: 2 tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, 1 pomelo, parsley, 2 onions, 2 eggplant, 2 zucchini, red lettuce, celery, 6 ears of corn, 8 tangelos, pistachios, 1 large and 4 small plain St. Benoit yogurt, Korean melon, Israeli melon, cantaloupe, radicchio, 5 pink lady apples, gaviota strawberries, and 2 lbs hull-less barley from Koda farms.
