Happy Weekend everyone! My husband and I have been busy today. We started the day out at the Farmer's Market--where we found lots of great finds, and then we went to another Arts Festival. We ate a late lunch at Chili's with a gift card (gotta love them!), and apparently I was really tired when we got home because I just woke up from a 2.5 hour nap. (And I never nap. Even when I'm sick and need to...so that was interesting to say the least.)
Anyway, while we were at the market I got sweet potatoes, sweet banana peppers, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, a good-sized basil plant (had to leave ours in CO) and 2.5 lbs. of grass-fed beef. We got the meat for a great price and 1 lb. is hamburger and 1.5 is stew meat--that I intend on using…
