What I Eat - Day Seventy-Five

Welcome to another week of 'What I Eat.'   I hope everyone is enjoying all the local, fresh food in the grocery stores!   It's definitely preserving season, for those of us who dry, can, and/or freeze fruits and vegetables while they are in season.   Last week I had the pleasure of helping friends process their fall honey from their beehives, which was a lot of fun!   An easy start to preserving would be to try making fridge pickles.   

Breakfast - Crispbread, Sunflower Seed Butter, and Nectarines

After trying and trying to find these crackers online, I gave up.  I had no problem finding the other flavour in the same line (the ones I prefer are the regular sea salt flavour).  These crispbreads are pretty popular with my friends and family, and (somewhat) reasonably priced.  

Lunch - Hummus and Rice Chips

I slept in and didn't have time to make lunch, so I picked these up at the grocery store while I was out running errands.  I ate an orange afterwards, just to make sure I didn't get scurvy.   Of course, it was an orange that was transported all the way from South Africa, so I didn't do the environment any favours.  It was organic, though.  You can't win 'em all!  ;)   You can find both these products in many of the grocery stores in North Bay.   I think 'Sante Fe Barbeque' is definitely the best Lundberg rice chip flavour.  

Dinner - Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes, and Carrots

This delicious meal was prepared by my dear friend, Sarah.   Throwing root vegetables in with your roast makes a hearty dinner incredibly easy.   In this instance Sarah's roast filled her entire slow cooker, so she steamed the carrots, and then boiled and mashed the potatoes.
