green goddess dressing

 

i tried to make my first green goddess dressing and to be honest, it was only ok.  there was just.... something.... that wasn't quite right but we couldn't put our finger on it.  the boy tried it but wasn't a fan, and the mister said it was ok, but never used it again.  i powered through a few more salads but ending up composting the rest.

back to the saturday farmers market

 it's been a long long time since we've been to the saturday downtown farmers market, but we've been twice so far this year.  there are plenty of familiar faces, and a lot of new faces and stalls too.

our old bannock stall seems to be gone, but there is a new one, and also a stall selling churros.


 there are lots of bakery options and some vendors with alcohol, if that's your thing.

the first week we were there, the  new free paper in town had a stall, so i got a copy, which nestled in my bag with the sourdough bread and lettuce.


 the next week i picked up some kale, carrots, nectarines, zucchini and blueberries.


 i made my first kale and apple juice with the kale.  i was the only one who would try it, but whatever!  it was good!

weekend dinner - burgers and greek salad

                                

we bought some 🍁 smash burger patties from costco and their ready to eat greek salad.  the salad is a real winner - it held up well for the few days it took the mister and i to gobble it down.  the burgers were great too - i prefer a thinner burger patty myself.
