locovore- week 2

I promise I won't post pictures of our fruit/veg bags every week from here to eternity, but the novelty of these bags totally hasn't worn off. Understandable, I suppose, seeing as how it is only week two. Check out the new stash!


This week we have rocket, swiss chard, curly parsley, lettuce, spring onions, avo, turnips, bananas, oranges, satsumas, red onions, sweet potatoes and apples (another kg of them...not shown). Tonight there will be a swiss chard and caramelized onion tart for sure. 

This shot also gives a little glimpse at our (ok...let's be honest...my) cookbook collection, both stacked on the shelf and open for perusal on the table. I was planning menus for dinner gatherings last night and this evening, as well as scoping out a recipe for apricot almond muffins that are likely to show up on our breakfast table this weekend. You see the corner of that one called Super Natural Cooking with Heidi Swanson's smiling face on it? I have my lovely friend Mariel to thank for bringing Heidi into my life and kitchen. Her website is inspirational and that cookbook (a wedding pressie from Mariel and her equally lovely nearly-husband Brett) is pure deliciousness and healthy to boot. I am hoping some little birthday fairy might set me up with her new cookbook for my birthday. I have a thing for cookbooks...I'll either need a bigger shelf or a 12 step program soon.
