Torbay Farmers Market

Today I went to the Torbay Farmers Market with my family to buy vegetables. It was a beautiful sunny day. When we got there I saw a farmer with vegetables that were in baskets and plastic bins. Before we bought the veggies we had some fun.

We went inside and looked around. Mom and dad sampled the sweet and sour turnip & carrot relish. They liked it and bought a jar. I waited until we got home to taste it. It smelled sour. I tasted it and it was too, too sour! I think they put too much vinegar and not enough sugar. Look at my face it looks sour just like the relish. I look funny.

While we were still at the market we went and had some lunch. We ate healthy all week and today I had a treat. The men had a little food trailer with pizza cones, chips, and candy bars. It had a microwave and speakers too. I had a BBQ chicken pizza cone. It was cool! The pizza dough was shaped as an ice cream cone. They stuffed BBQ chicken, cheese and sauce into the cone. They heated it in the microwave. I found out they put spicy in the sauce, but it was still good. Here is a picture of me with the pizza cone. I think I will try to make this myself on my youtube video, but I will not have it spicy.

I also had cupcake on a stick. It was a mini chocolate cupcake with blue icing and sprinkles and one M&M on top. It smelled awesome and looked delicious! I gobbled it up in two bites. There was no sour in this cupcake so that was good. It was all sweet.

Here is me and my brother, Alexander. He was tired and fussy so he wouldn't smile for the picture.

Before we left we went back to the farmer and bought kale and I picked out a bunch of beet. I wonder what we can make with it. I will talk to my dad to see what I can make with the beet. I hope he will let me use the stove for the first time.

Grilled Buttermilk Chicken w/ Salad

I am always looking for new recipes and last month my cousin emailed me the link to Grilled Buttermilk Chicken. I've had fried chicken soaked in buttermilk before, but this was a leaner idea. It was very easy. Saturday morning I arranged the chicken in a shallow baking dish and marinaded them in the buttermilk mixture. I turned them occasionally until dinner time. Then Millard took care of the grilling. They turned out nice. I didn`t use as much garlic as was called for, but perhaps I could`ve. Grilled Buttermilk Chicken Serves 8 Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 1hr 50m Ingredients 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 8 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon paprika kosher salt and black pepper 6 pounds bone-in chicken pieces Directions In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Divide the buttermilk mixture and chicken between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bags o

What is a healthy breakfast?

Ok so I have to admit that breakfast at our household during school days had been very rushed and not so healthy. I would always let Christian pick out the oh so common cereal box that we all see advertised on TV. I'd pour a heap of sugary cereal with 2% milk into a bowl and set it on the table. I've obviously been slacking and taking the easy, unhealthy way out. Breakfast is referred to as the most important meal of the day, but somehow I don't think that a bowl full of sugar is what they are talking about. Breakfast is supposed to refuel my child and help boost his brain power for a busy day at school. Recently I've been making a better attempt to start Christian's day out with a healthier meal. I am keeping on my track of incorporating more fruits and because we have a super-sized box of cornflakes in the pantry I figured we'd have to use them up first. At a closer look at the labeling though I realized that the cornflakes aren't so bad compared to

Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries

Today was grocery day. I shopped the sales fliers and came home with some lovely looking strawberries. I knew they would go great with the Fat Free Jello Pudding that we already had in the pantry. I prepared the pudding with 1% milk and spooned 1/2 cup into each dessert dish. I washed and sliced the strawberries and layered them on top and lastly added a heaping tablespoon of cool whip on top. A very simple and low fat, low cal dessert and oh boy was it ever delicious! For dinner we had Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Coleslaw. We tried Renee's Salad Dressing for the first time tonight and it was very good. Overall our meal was about 4 carbs which was perfect!
