A Day at the Market

Hello Friends,

About a week ago I made plans to go to the market. It was on my mind to pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables and create a great recipe and meal for my husband. I had some great finds today so I thought I'd share them with you. Almost all the produce I bought was locally grown, organic and pesticide free. Makes you feel like your doing something nice for your body, you know? Anyways, over a conversation about foods with my best friend, I decided why not make good old fashioned egg plant parmisean. So...that's what I did--but GLUTEN FREE style.


It was my first time experimenting with gluten free bread crumbs and I was a little nervous that the taste would just not be the same. You know how different products sometimes lack that homecooked feel you grew up with? Well, I was pleasantly surprised! I used a product manufactured by a company called ORGRAN. The product name is "Gluten Free All Purpose Crumbs" and it comes in a brightly colored red and yellow box. It just so happens to be free of many other things as well (dairy, egg, yeast, GMO, soy, nut, wheat), which makes it great for people with various types of allergies. However, my meal was not dairy, egg or lactose free. (I used freshly grated mozzerella and dipped the eggplant in eggs)


Here is a picture of my meal. It was AMAZING, and tickled my tastebuds with flavor. I loved it, and so did my husband so it will definitely be something I make more often. Also check out the pics of just some of my fresh produce. Definitely check out your local farmers markets to get some great organic buys!
