I love the warm weather that accompanies Spring and Summer. Playing outside with Jude for hours on end is a fun and relaxing and easy! way to spend our days. The hard thing about nice-weather days (for me at least) is trying to find the time to cook. Too often I end up relying on sandwiches or cut up pieces of cheese and fruit and veggies to make up our meals. I haven’t been able to find a big chunk of time to do a lot of cooking at once, and I can’t seem to make myself be productive while Jude is napping. Sooner or later, I’m going to need to figure something out.

Early-ish this morning, Jude and I took a bike ride to The Harvest, our local food co-op, and to Downtown Evanston’s Farmers’s Market. I was really disappointed by the end of our shopping trip: the co-op was out of dried cranberries and bread, and the stand at the farmers’ market that we got our eggs from last week was sold out. The woman working the stand said all their eggs were gone by 9am. I could have gotten eggs from a different stand, but the only place that still had them for sale didn’t designate the eggs as being free-range or organic or pastured, so I didn’t want to buy them. I ended up buying two bags of spinach, some basil, cilantro, and cheese made from raw milk. I’m happy with what I bought, but I just didn’t leave with the sense of excitement that I left with last week. Anyway! Here’s what cooking this week.
