Anyway, I've been picking cucumbers from my garden daily. They are growing like weeds!! Today I plan on making a big cucumber salad and I also want to make some cucumber juice on ice like Kristen Suzanne always talks about (congrats to her, on her new baby girl!!!). One way I'm enjoying my cucs are on some sprouted grain bread with hummus, nutritional yeast some cracked pepper. YUM!
Is that a sandwich or what? I swear I could eat 3 of these! They are so delicious!
Another gem from our garden has been zucchini. I am not a huge fan of zucchini, but I love it juiced. Another way I like to enjoy it is smothered in tomato sauce.
On Friday, we did our usual grocery trip to Whole Foods. I stocked up on organic fruit for the week: Oranges, Grapefruit, Cherries, White Peaches, Strawberries and Raspberries. Both the strawberries and raspberries were on sale. Has anyone else noticed that organic strawberries have been amazing this season? They are so juicy, red and HUGE! Beat that Monsanto!
As I mentioned, on Saturday we were outside a lot. That is because we went to the city to walk around! We hit up a lovely little street fair in our travels and I had a fresh made watermelon juice! YUM, this was so refreshing and definitely cooled me down. The guy made it right when I ordered, umm, can we get one of those stands at the street fairs in my town? ;)
I also picked up some fabulous earrings, they were 3 for $5! Aren't they adorable? I like the hearts the most!
Have a great day everyone!

LOVE the purple teardrop earrings.
Give me some zucchini!!! I like to cook it by sautéing it with some EVOO, onion, peppers, and garlic and then once it gets soft you add a bit of balsamic and let it caramelize-- yummm put it on a salad, in wrap or pita, yummy!! <3
those are adorable!
I've been savoring garden fresh cukes this year more than ever! Not sure why, but I can't get enough of them

I LOVE cucumber sandwiches! Our cucumbers are NOT doing well this year. I'm so bummed.
I hardly ever get hot ... or cold. But ... when it gets above 90 or so, that's getting pretty warm!
