mmm, cake!

These are the zucchini spelt muffins from ED&BV, except they are carrot spelt muffins instead! The muffins were pleasantly sweet, but didn't over-do it, which is nice because I need to tame my sweet toothe a bit...

My wonderful, beautiful, and nutritious bounty from the farmer's market! I was ecstatic to find all this goodness in one place. I got beets, swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, radishes, zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, blueberries and edible flowers!! Yum, yum! I'm excited to incorporate some veggies in a simple dinner tonight of rice pasta and tomato sauce with zucchini and a nice crispy salad with bread and vegan butter. Simple, but of so nice!
This is the cake I made for my boyfriend this weekend. He had a busy/stressful weekend, so I surprised him with this delicious two-layer cake! He was sooo happy, not to mention it tased wonderful! The recipe is the chocolate sin-nammon cake and vanilla frosting from ED&BV. And that is my crude depiction of a heart with an arrow through it...clearly I am not the most artistic, but it got the point across.

On a non-food related post, I was very happy this weekend to find a small shop in the town next door that sells only fair-trade items! How sweet is that?! Needless to say, I wandered about and bought a headband and bracelet because I wanted to show my support. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and see if they got any new items!

I am also reading the China Study right now...I figured everyone else has read the book, so I should hop on the bandwagon! I just finished reading a book called Deadly Harvest which focuses on comparing the diet of ancestors to nowadays.

Everyone have a good day!!
