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

The spring sunlight slanted through the Hollywood Farmers Market at 8 a.m.. The produce glowed and beckoned. This is what we brought home:

snap peas and slender carrots from Finley Farms
4 pink lady apples and a dozen eggs from Ha's Apple Farm
5 small containers of plain St. Benoit yogurt
3 limes, 1 pomelo, 3 tangelos, 4 grapefruit and 1 haas avocado from Jorge
1 bunch of radishes from Flora Bella
a kabocha squash, parsley, 2 onions and 1 sweet potato rounded out the load

Russ sharpened two knives for me while we shopped
