Good Morning!

One of the many things I love about Mexico is that breakfast there always involves an abundance of fresh fruit, including my favorite, papaya. From Leticia's kitchen in San Luis Potosí, to hotel breakfast in San Miguel de Allende... or breakfast brought right to our towel on a beach in Tulum, and every single morning at Hacienda Las Trancas... desayuno isn't desayuno without papaya and lime. I can eat this stuff every day.

Lunchtime leftovers snack.

By the way, if you've never tried Finn Crisps, you should.

Farmer's Market!

From May through December, we've got the farmer's market in Van Vorst Park every Saturday, and in the Grove Street Plaza on Mondays and Thursdays; both right around the corner from us. Here's Saturday's bounty:

With the lovely Jersey tomatoes, domestic mootzy and basil from our little fire escape herb garden (which, by the way, is growing like crazy!) I made a nice Caprese Salad. Jimmy grilled up a piece of tuna and sauteed some asparagus and squash. Fresh, easy and delish. 

Turkey Meatloaf

Last night I decided to make Meatloaf out of the ground turkey that I had.  I followed a recipe that I found on Epicurious.com.  I picked it because I had pretty much everything in the ingredients list.  This Turkey Meatloaf Recipe has you cook most of the ingredients first and I think I've always just mixed everything together and then cooked in all at once.  This recipe turned out really good though!  Cooking the aromatics together first definitely brings out more of their flavor when the meatloaf bakes.  Try it out!
Note:  I didn't have the mushrooms so I left those out, and I just used 1 egg so as not to waste the egg yolk in the 2nd egg.  AND, I used the parsley out of my herb garden!!  :)
