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

It was overcast this morning at the Hollywood Farmers Market - June gloom was in full effect - but as we were finishing up our shopping at the St. Benoit yogurt stand, a few rays of sun filtered through the clouds.

We came home to sunshine, and breakfasted on the patio - Larry squeezed fresh tangelos and oranges for juice, and I cooked cheerful yellow potatoes and eggs with turmeric.

Here's what we brought home from the market:

3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, 1 romaine lettuce, cilantro, basil, 1 red butter lettuce, red spring onions, 4 peaches, 2 pluots, 1 yellow summer squash, 3 green zucchini, 1 tomato, cherry tomatoes, 8 mushrooms, 1 quart and 5 cups of plain St. Benoit yogurt, strawberries, feta, eggs, 1 cucumber, 6 tangelos, 10 oranges, 4 pickling cucumbers (I'm going to try a quick pickle this week), 4 limes, 2 grapefruit, 1 haas avocado, 4 pink lady apples, and a few pecans in the shell - they will be fun to crack while we barbecue this evening.
