Stuff we bought!

Today at the market, we went a little wild :P I got enough green beans and mushrooms to last me through the apocalypse and some super cute little tiger zucchinis. I also got some assorted squash, all of this freshness for the Pioneer Woman's veggie lasagna, which I am super excited to cook. Erica got some cute little baby eggplants we will figure out some dish for and some great smelling Malawi coffee from Z-Coffee stand, which was gracious enough to give us a cup of 100% Kona coffee... Talk about tasty coffee! We got lunch at Croissant Gourmet, and we got some pastries to-go for later today :) We finished our trek at The Wine Room, and got the help of David who was more then willing to help us wine noobs out with finding a great wine fit for the lasagna night. We are definitely going to make it out there more often!

Our stash from left to right: mushrooms (which were so hard to find!), baby eggplant, squash and tiger zucchini, green beans, candied ginger (I'm going to make some amazing scones with those this week!), our fancy wine and coffee!

Croissant Gourmet's bear paw and classic croissant.

Turkey and swiss sandwich on a classic croissant :D YUM!

p.s. We are watching our friend Ian's munchkin Frodo, a little Chorkie (Chihuahua- Yorkie) who drives Zeke crazy. Poor Zeke, only a few more days of being not an only puppy!

Winter Park Farmers Market

Tomorrow morning we're headed to the Winter Park Farmers Market! We have our eyes and hearts set on some tasty and beautiful eggplants, mushrooms and squash they've got out for sale :) I'm planning on making The Pioneer Woman's veggie lasagna on Sunday. I've also got a few other tasty dishes I need some fresh veggies for. I'm also craving some of "Croissant Gourmet"'s croissants. So buttery and flaky and yummy. Also, picking up a bottle of good wine to go with the veggie lasagna, I'm thinking a white but I will ask the people at The Wine Room for their suggestions. I'll post pictures of our finds tomorrow afternoon after a long day of running around Orlando like crazy people!

Making our way

over to our favorite BBQ place, 4Rivers, in Winter Park. Not only do they have the best smoked meats, but the best fried pickles and baked beans ever. They also have my all time favorite soda, Dublin Dr.Pepper, like omg best. thing. ever. It is made with pure cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup (blech!) making it super sweet. :D yummy! We also love it because we get to bring the little stinkers with us, because like all of Winter Park, it is dog friendly! I'll post later with a few pictures of the deliciousness that is 4Rivers, after the food coma that is..
