The Farmer's Market and Me

Over the past few weeks, I have been take more time out of my schedule to cook. I am cooking a healthy home cooked meal three times a week. So I have been going to the Farmer's Market near my home. This allows me to get the freshest fruits and vegetables at a fraction of the cost. The moment this really struck me was last night in the grocery store when I saw organic tomatoes on the vine for $2.78. At the Farmer's Market, I got the same thing for $1.28. So if you have one near you, I suggest finding it and take a trip out there to scout out your options. You do however want to look up their health code scores online. You don't want to go to one that has problems with health code violations.

But, I have also picked up a magazine on Clean Eating. The theory is that the more natural the food is the better it is for you. The more processed foods tend to have more ingredients and therefor are not as good for you. This isn't a new concept. So people who run around buying the diet foods are still not eating the best food for them. I also suggest buying a crock pot. Many crock pot recipes start with 2-3 cups of raw vegetables. This means super healthy. As long as you don't pile on lots of butter it is hard to make it unhealthy.

Here is a link to the magazine I was talking about: Clean Eating Magazine.
