Summers in Saratoga

Jul 17, 2010 by lanashabit

Hey bloggies, I hope your having a fabulous Saturday! After our salsa dancing extravaganza, Hannah and I wanted to head back up to saratoga to visit the boutiques that wanted our money caught our eye. I of course had to squeeze in a trip to the farmers market too I followed my Healthy Habit #1, went crazy and bought two new vegetables that I had never tried: garlic scapes and Patty Pan squash. I have seen garlic scapes all over the blog world (Ange and Meagan) in the past month and decided they were a must-have. I can’t wait to make something with them!! I also bought some apples, swiss chard, candy onion and blueberries. Oh how I love summers…

I have to admit, my favorite part about large farmers markets is that there are samples. I sampled plums, wines, almond butters, chocolate peanut butter and honey water. The chocolate peanut butter definitely won the contest by a long shot, but those plums gave them a run for their money.

We then went to ALL the boutiques on the main street, stopped in a book store and ate at Uncommon Grounds Coffee and Tea. I got the lentil soup and salad. They were also roasting their own coffee beans on the spot! I also found a gorgeous new dress that was on a sidewalk sale rack!!
