It's that time of the year in Chicago, Farmers' Markets are starting this month and next all over the city! I'm very excited, I'm tired of buying vegetables in the grocery store and I only have two days to cook them before they go bad. I love this time of the year, though. It gives me an opportunity to taste vegetables the way they are supposed to taste. As a result, my meals taste better, I feel different and I cannot wait to get back the following weekend for more goodies the market offers! I cannot wait to get to the outdoor markets because they give me a chance to shop outside for a change. So I can get up early and take my time walking through the market to enjoy the fresh air.
I enjoy the sunlight, without it I feel so..... blah. But if the sun is shining then I cannot wait to get out outside. And why not start getting healthy by going to buy healthy food on a beautiful Saturday morning?
This year, I have decided to shop for the majority of my food from the market instead of going to the grocery store. I'm going to do this to see how much money I can save and to see how much more I benefit from creating healthier meals. Wish me luck!
