Farmer's Market

Jackson Heights has a great farmer's market on 34th ave, between 77th and 78th streets. If you live in New York, there are many farmer's markets, and about nine in Queens.  Today I picked up just a few tomatoes, cucumbers, chiles, apples and peaches. 

I also bought some juice from Red Jacket Orchards.  If you live in New York, you have to try this juice.  Their Cranberry Apple Cider is so delicious.  They also make nectars, apple sauce and jams.  Today I bought just regular apple cider. Check out their website for all the info.  Aside from farmer's markets, they also sell their products at some stores in the city.  Last thing I bought was a sweet potato knish. It tasted ok, though the corn in it kinda threw me off.  This was nothing compared to the sweet potato knishes at Katz's Deli that I dream about.

Labor Day Eats!

Today started out with some coffee, watermelon, kiwi, and some delicious plums I got from the farmer's market on sunday.

I ate a late lunch at Whole Foods in Columbus Circle. The Whole Foods in Columbus Circle is my favorite! They have a huge selection for their hot and cold bar. I got this yummy, healthy lunch for only around $9.

My box of healthy goodness had: -orzo salad wth feta and olives (my favorite thing I got) -lentil salad with parsley, tomato and carrot (also delicious) -tofu peanut broccoli salad (not too tasty) -some cucumbers, olives, and arugula (olives are my favorite) -quinoa with energy sprout salad and lemon parsley dressing (packed with protein) -a little taste of curry apple israeli couscous (kind of bland)

I washed it down with grapefruit juice.... I also tried these vegan kale chips. I love kale and it is SOOO good for you. I have been wanting to make kale chips and I found these which are made in Brooklyn.

For dinner I ate this at my job.

Shredded lettuce, avocado with lemon juice, rice and beans topped with pico de gallo, and tons of tabasco! :P I hope everyoe had a great holiday!
