Why I Love Park's Farmers' Market #2

I just bought:

1 dozen organic, cage-free brown eggs
4 lbs spinach
3 large leeks
1 bundle fresh sage
1 bundle fresh rosemary
1 large bundle of celery
1 yellow onion
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
13 sweet potatoes
5 lemons
1 lb roasted pistachios

And I paid $19.25. I KNOW. [/Monica]

my favorite tuna

I know I've blogged about my amazing tuna salad before. But Dish taught me an even better way, and now it's my go-to. SO easy.

1 can canallini beans
2 cans white tuna packed in water
both drained and rinsed

Add 2 celery stalks, split down the middle and chopped, about 1/4 white onion, chopped, 1 large green onion, chopped. Then season with your very own lemon-thyme salt (or if you don't have that wonder, salt and pepper and dried thyme) and add the juice of 2 large lemons (or 3 small ones). Mix well and serve over arugula.

This would also work well with chicken, or even just the white beans, for my strict no meat-eaters.

Coming up tomorrow: quinoa risotto with broccoli and smoked salt!

REALLY?

OK, apparently now fake sugar comes with fake fiber:

That's just ridiculous. Wake up, obese America. Eat an apple.
