Fresh Veggies and the Market

Well...my mood is a tad better.lol....actually a lot better. We went to the Farmers Market this weekend after working out...and got a load of fresh veggies. We also had some delicious fish tacos. Yum!!!! I watched the lady make them and then we bought the stuff there to try our own at home.

I have to say...yes it is faster to run to McD's and get a value meal.lol...but nothing is as good as really fresh food. On Saturday we made a wonderful stir fry...it really is amazing how much everyone loved it. The girls even loved all the veggies. We had it coupled with some brown rice....It was yummy. Then we did tilapia fish tacos on Sunday...ohhh they were good too...with fresh cabbage and tomato's and cilantro as well as some fresh made tomatillo salsa from the market. Ned had a wonderful tilapia and potato's made when I came home from work on Monday night. This was all rounded out by some Shrimp Scampi on whole wheat noodles last night with a salad. Please...please...please tell me where my camera was during this time. The neat thing about fresh meals like this is the colors in everything. I can't wait to make something tonight. Another thing that is fun...trying out new recipes....we were getting in a rut of making the same things over and over....and this newness and freshness puts a different spin on things.

Well...next week is my bday...dinners...and the Cheesecake Factory...and the casino this weekend. :) I can't wait. :) Here's to making healthy choices...no matter what I'm doing. :)
