To market, to market

Lovely summer Saturday!

Firstly, I get to sleep in on Saturdays. After I breastfeed the wee one, the Husband takes over, giving her some solid food and entertaining her until nap time. It's heavenly! I scootch over and sleep in the middle of the bed, spreading out. Ahhhhh!!!

Then we finally made it to Evergreen Toronto Brickworks for their farmer's market. What a fantastic place! Super cool and a GREAT spot for a special event. (We were saying we should get married again and do it there. A summer wedding this time, with white fairy lights strung up everywhere.)

But the real standout: the FOOD! Obviously they had all sorts of fresh, organic produce. (Hello cherries and kale!) Also lots of people selling the kind of yummy, grainy bread that makes grocery store bread look like the sad imitation of food that it is. What we weren't expecting was the all the booths selling incredible prepared meals!

In the end, we indulged in a plate of curried veggie tofu with both beet and quinoa salad, a vegan banana cupcake with maple icing and a small scoop of fresh, organic chocolate ice cream, which rocked my world. I had to do some guessing on the points, but since we split everything, I don't think it was so bad!

Here's how I think the day played out.

Daily target: 32
Daily total: 35
Flex points bank: 22

And here are a few shots.





All the excitement tired our little Vivi out:
