Summer is here! At least it feels like it for now. It’ll probably go back to being near-freezing and sleeting next week based on recent Chicago weather patterns, but for now give me a giant ice cream cone from Annette’s (the above was their incredible carrot cake flavor) and I’m the happiest gal in the world.
A fresh blueberry-peach smoothie and a giant bundle of asparagus from the farmers market
First things first: I had the best time at the Green City Farmers Market’s first outdoor weekend of the year. Brad was busy Saturday morning, so I had a “me” morning of strolling the farmers market leisurely, sampling everything, and watching adorable dogs and babies run around everywhere. Take-home spoils included: a fresh peach and blueberry smoothie made by a girl on a bike (seriously), a rhubarb spelt scone, an enormous bundle of asparagus, and an embarrassing amount of samples of Wisconsin cheese curds. I love the Midwest! I’m going to try to make it to the farmers market much more this year + hopefully share the seasonal goodness with you all on the blog! (Side note: why is every single person at farmers markets wearing gym clothes? There is NO WAY you ALL already worked out by 9am! Right…right?????)
