When the week ends and feels just right... A beautiful display of colors and Concord grapes at the #farmersmarket for a beautiful sunny #Fall day... 💛💜 #happyfriday !

More #nyc heat, more cooling and refueling time by the #ocean, more #beachside #picnics, and quite happy about that! 😊 And this time with kiddo too ☺️ This #picnic was also fully #plantbased: #marketfresh and chickpea #salad with lemon tahini dressing, #homemade English muffins with also homemade #dairyfree “cream cheese” (the muffins are still a little work in progress but getting there, and grateful for that inspo too :)), and watermelon with lime and mint. Kiddo approved 😉, and #meatlessmonday friendly (and #wastefree to boot!). 🌱🥗🍉🥯🌊🏖 #happyday

Where else to cool off during this #nyc heatwave but back at the beach? 🥵 So second #beachside #marketfresh #picnic this past week-end, and this one packed a punch nutrients-wise: fresh bib lettuce and carrots from the last #farmersmarket run, with #homemade creamy pesto and sweet potatoe hummus (spiked with a tiny bit of harissa :)) for dipping, a light chia seed pudding and colorful berries (blues, gooseberries, red currant) also from the #greenmarket. Easy to make and fully #meatless / #plantbased (#wastefree to boot) so good for a #meatlessmonday #notsaddesklunch too... and this time there were leftovers for today. :) ☀️🏖🥬🥕🥣 #multivitamins

Beauty in the #compostbin...:) 🌸💕 You never know what you will see during the weekly #farmersmarket #compost #dropoff but some weeks it can be quite pretty and #poetic. 😊🌷💐 #nycgreenmarket #weeklycompost

First #nyc #beachday of this #summer, first #marketfresh #beachside (and #wastefree to boot) #picnic: refreshing #salad with #farmersmarket tomatoes, scallions, fresh corn, and cilantro, cucumber, tofu and avocado, some of those blueberries from the last post and some homemade zucchini bread too. Now wishing there were some leftovers for this #meatlessmonday too :). 🍅🌽🥬🥒🥑🥗 #summereats

#Humpday happiness : munching on more #nyc #farmersmarket faves for this #summer. 😋 The blues are sweet and refreshing on these hot days, but still a tad tart too, so also good candidates for a quick stew/compote with a little maple syrup to ease the tanginess. ☀️💙❤️#summerdelights

The sight of #summer at the #farmersmarket (if the heat was not enough ;)): juicy and sweet red and Queen Anne #marketfresh #cherries... 😋#Summer19 will be remembered as a great #cherry year in #nyc! 🍒❤️#summerdelights

#Bloomfield, NJ just got so lucky, with the opening of #gelateria and #sorbeteria @apemcreamery !! 🍀🍦The owners are no other than Alex and Jenny who made the most delicious #marketfresh #gelato available at @cuesa and in the Bay Area! :) Their flavor range is incredible, from the classic and beloved vanilla to incredible combinations, many with #local , #inseason #produce! Congrats Jenny and Alex, can’t wait to come and eat more of your utterly #delish #icecream and #sorbet again!! 🎉😋 #apemcreamery

#Pancakes, #crepes, #blinis? Hard to decide, but time to get that #pancake game on! ;) Happy #ShroveTuesday / #PancakeDay! 🥞😋 #pancakesallday

Nothing beats making #redvelvet #cupcakes with real #marketfresh #beets... and making a pretty #pinkish (#yum!) mess along the way (and rescuing a not so perfect #beet to boot!). :) 💕 #prettyinpink #baking

No #galettedesrois left at the nearest bakery, no problem: switch to a #homemade one! And no time or will left for puff pastry either? No problem either: switch to a flaky sweet crust! Which can be made #dairyfree and #glutenfree too for those who need it. And a new #king or #queen can be crowned as planned (no cheating!;)) ! 👑#epiphany #kingcake

A festive looking yet light shaved cauliflower #salad for the last #marketfresh #meatlessmonday #lunch of the year. And with pretty pink hues thanks to the cauliflower head found at a recent #farmersmarket run! Just needed to slice it thinly, salt and pepper it, add olive oil and lemon juice, parsley, pomegranate and slightly toasted pecans. And enjoy :) Bonus: it leaves ample room for all the #NewYearsEve stuff ;) Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! 🥗🎉 #newyear #veggie #feast

Since someone had to eat #Santa's cookie leftovers and more (someone has to do it! ;)), a little #lemontea recovery thanks to these #marketfresh #lemontree leaves found at a recent #farmersmarket run... Both soothing and refreshing, and festive looking to boot, they might come in handy for #january 1st too ;). And with these, warm wishes to everyone in this #HolidaySeason! :) 🍃🍵 🎄🎅#merrychristmas #happyholidays

#Winter is here... but getting ready to give a home on the wall to this little escape to the #cornish coastline, a provision of lighter and greener days for the darker ones. Perhaps there might be a #marypoppins moment when jumping in this lovely #painting might bring one straight to this little bit of #Cornwall? 😉 #art : @beccacleggart💗 🌊🌱🌸🌺☀️

When you know your week is off to a good start... A #chiaseed pudding with plenty of goodness, that is a truly delish #MeatlessMonday #breakfast/ #brunch/#munch... and a #mondayinspo all at once... 👌 #happymonday

Blue sunny sky, a gentle breeze, perfect water temperature, sweet time with kiddo, and a little simple wastefree #meatlessmonday #picnic ( #marketfresh salad with fresh corn, avocado, black beans, lettuce, red pepper, red onion, herbs, cumin, lime and oo ). Grateful for this #beachside #laborday 💙🌊☀️ #grateful

When the tomato plant thinks it's a beanstalk and blossoms all over, and the lettuce not wanting to be the lesser of the two starts climbing, spiraling leaves all over, and doing its own thing too :). (had never seen lettuce blossom before but quite pretty btw...) Question now is how tall can this thing grow?... 🌱 #itstimetomakeasalad

#summer in a bowl, a perfect and refreshing #marketfresh #salad for hot #meatlessmonday eves, and forever a fave from the @grownyc / @unsqgreenmarket cookbook: #peach - purslane salad with pickled ref onions. You can leave it as is or play around a little with like here: with added fresh corn and pine nuts, and whatever herbs you could find at the #farmersmarket that day. 👌🌱🍑 #cooling

First year growing #tomatoes #indoor and things are starting to get exciting :) : had found #tomato #plants during a #farmersmarket run and after tending to them for a few weeks, a few babies almost ready for picking and a few more on the way! :) 🌼 Meanwhile lettuce still going strong (in spite of the kitten 😼) - maybe getting the hang of this one ... finally... :) (all tips still welcome!) 🍅 #homegrown #tomatoseason
