Visiting Local Farmers Market #3


On Sunday I went to the Fort Lee New Jersey Farmers Market..It looked like it was really good, but I didn't know it closed at 2 pm we got there at 1:35. My wise boy said, "mom didn't you check"!!!! Now for the future, I will check what time they start and finish.
We went running to the only veggie stand left, a man was shouting "we have 20 minutes left amen" do you think he was happy that we shopping!  I ran to the PATTY PAN SQUASH and BEANS grab a handful took a photo and scurried to back to the car. 

I love PATTY PAN SQUASH because I love all kinds of squash but these babies look like toy tops, you know the toy that you spin or mini flying saucers. I would give these to Anthony (my boy) when he was little he had no problem gobbling them down because they looked like a toy.....

Frozen Blueberries
!!!!! "Yay"

Thank You @ramseyfarmersmarket  for today's Beautiful "blues"


I love going to the farmers market and seeing an abundance of fresh fruit, especially when blueberries are in season. There are so many great, healthy recipes out there for summer and I love when blueberries are the leading ingredient! Some of my favorites include crumbles, pies, ice-pops and my all time favorite and easiest: FROZEN BLUEBERRIES.

Frozen blueberries are delish and are on the top of the SUPERFOOD chart.

Below are three steps to a frozen delight.

STEP 1- Rinse blueberries and pick off stems. Lay them flat and dry them with a paper towel (they must be completely dry or they will stick together.)

STEP 2- Freeze them on a rimmed baking sheet, single layer.

Step 3 - Once frozen, you can store them in an airtight container and for the next few days, you'll have a healthy frozen treat waiting for you!

I like to toss a few in my iced-tea, water or just pop them in my mouth!

I also love to plan ahead and freeze a case so I have them in the winter too. It's a really great addition to your middle-of-February sweet tooth moods, perfect for a blueberry crumble.
