Every Saturday that Mr. Ford and I are in Folsom, we make our way to the Farmer's Market in Rancho Cordova! To be honest, I look forward to it every week. We first make a nice and hearty breakfast and then head out to the market. We always make sure to get enough fruits and veggies for the week as well as what is in season and making sure to be creative with it! So today, we purchased cabbage and decided to make salsa and egg rolls out of it. We made sure to get all of the necessities for the salsa as well ~ jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro! It is going to be so yummy!
I also bought two 1 lb. bags of walnuts to make this spiced walnut recipe that is to die for! Thanks Esther! I plan to give some of the nuts away and eat the others, lol! :)
Another reason why I love going to market is I get to take my green grocery bag and my new basket that Jenny, Travis's mom, gave to me for my birthday! I think why I like going to the market so much is mainly because it reminds me of home and my family. Having the oldest organic farm in CO as part of my family, markets have always been a part of my life. It is nice that I am able to enjoy this in Folsom as well (and it is year round here)!
On this particular Saturday, we headed to the Folsom Holiday Craft Fair. It was a lot bigger than I suspected it would be and it was free!! Yay for free events! We walked around and looked at every one's crafts, got a few ideas of how I could make crafts out of Travis's products of his land, and bought one ornament (for 50 cents may I add). Overall, it was a nice little Saturday treat!
Tonight we are making dinner ~ Chicken tacos with our amazing and fresh cabbage salsa and enjoying our Christmas decorations! We might even go out for ice cream!
Tomorrow is our 6 month wedding anniversary! Already, I know! We have decided to go on a little date to Pita Pita and see Australia! Needless to say, I am excited! It will be a great day!
Love & Joy to all!
