This weeks shop Jan 14 2012 ~ plus a bit from the garden

 How can you not be inspired to cook when you have produce like this to use!!

The markets were wonderful this week so many stall with the most beautiful fresh produce...I really had to resist the urge not to over shop as our home garden is producing quite a bit as well... we have plums, plums and more plums... with grapes and figs about to be ready...

I am in love with these button squash and plan to cook them this week with garlic, olive oil and lemon... easy and bliss...

I bought lots of carrots ~ not all of these though ~ to juice but also to make healthy kiddy muffins and cakes for start of school... How beautiful are the colours??

I also got 6 trays of strawberries which equals about 10kg...I have frozen most of them and will show you this week how to make the most of these jewels while there season is at its peak and they are 'get out of town' sweet....

This week I'll share with you...

Polenta Crusted Schnitzel with a Greek Salad

Spinach & Feta Triangles ~ the best for school lunches

Zucchini many ways...

And Strawberry Granita...

I'd like to make a blueberry sponge roll but that may have to give way to the preserving of plums and tomatoes...

I also got this week a 10kg box of sauce tomatoes from Pat ~ sensational flavour and well worth the effort to preserve these babies.... we have eaten heaps already in salad and on toast with goats chevre and basil... yum!

I know that there a few of you out there say "I don't have the time" and fair enough... cooking is more than just a thing that has to be done each day for me ... I really enjoy creating with food and so I make the time for it... Its also how I learnt as a child to do life... the only thing different with blogging it is that I take photos as I cook and I spend an hour on the lap top posting..

My goal here is to inspire!

I also got this week my milk and feta from Paris Creek and Fleurieu Milk my cream and yoghurt...

Loads of fresh greens fro Judith... basil, rocket, lettuce, thyme, spinach and many more... LOVE my greens !

I'm really enjoying NAJOBE  Beef's minute steak for its versatility and ease of cooking...so I got a couple of pack for the freezer and some mince...

Cherries, kale and much more... I also did a Central Market visit and bought enoki mushrooms and a few Asian condiments!

My computer is taking forever to load the pictures!

So I'll post them tomorrow...

Yours,
