Between Lititz Farmer's Market, Lancaster Central Market, and the 50 million road side stands in between, there is no excuse for not buying fresh local produce. Last week at Lititz Farmer"s Market, the farmer told me that every vegetable I bought that day was picked fresh that morning. Doesn't get any better than that!
I have been on a kick lately trying out different recipes with all the fresh produce I'm buying. A few weeks ago I made chicken with zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, tomatoes, fresh herbs, garlic, and of course my new favorite seasoning, Adobo. It was fantastic and full of flavor! Even a 6-year-old loved the healthy dish!
Tonight I made a dish with ingredients from Central Market. Chicken, brown rice, and tomatoes. Simple, quick, and easy... just the way I like it! I had the suggestion to add some cheese to it but while I am trying to make delicious dishes at the same time I want to stay low calorie, low fat. So I sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese for taste.
I'm really enjoying trying out new recipes and trying to cook healthier meals! Maybe someday I will start a garden of my own like I had when I was a kid...
About Project 365
I have decided to get back into my photography. I have boycotted my hobby for awhile because I miss the meditating atmosphere of a dark room. (Maybe I just miss the fumes!?!?) When I went to school I can remember spending very long evenings in the dark room and having a sense of accomplishment and creativity! Since I have made the switch to digital photography, I rarely edit the photos I take. With this project I will have different types of photos. All photos will be taken with my iPhone and will not be edited. Some will be normal everyday pics and some artistic in nature, but all will be a little part of my day. Everyday for a year! Here's to going out and finding the creativity again...
