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 already warm at 8 a.m. this morning, and the Hollywood Farmers Market was more crowded than usual. I think it was a combination of people wanting to beat the heat, and the attraction of the second-hand book sale. We browsed the books a little, but with the heat and the crowds I just wanted to buy our food and get home.

This is what we bought from the wonderful organic farmers who feed us:
2 cucumbers, 1 green pepper, 1 romaine lettuce, 3 bunches of fat asparagus, 3 red peppers, green beans, a dozen limes, 4 yellow apples whose name I forget, 4 tsugaru apples, 2 honey crisp apples, 15 oranges, cherry tomatoes, 6 ears of corn, a dozen eggs, an avocado, and 1 smallish watermelon.

Corn, in ears, as it should be.
Did you do something special with the limes?I bet you grilled them!

I did not think of grilling the limes - have you tried that?

Apartment living deprives me of the experience of grilling. I thought you might have tried it because you have year-round grilling and I've seen that you have grilled just about everything :)
