Market Friday - An Apple A Day

in #marketfriday6 years ago (edited)
I absolutely had to go to the grocery store today as my cabinets and refrigerator were getting bare. I love the produce section of the supermarket for some reason because normally everything looks so good and tasty that I just want to gobble it up right then and there. However, today, things were looking a little bleak. The apples looked good so I picked up a few of them to eat with some peanut butter or when I get a sweet tooth, some caramel.

Then I came across some baby watermelons because there is no way on Earth I could eat an entire watermelon. Well, let me take that back. I could eat an entire watermelon because I love it, but I didn't want to risk it going to waste so I chose the smaller pint-sized version.

And now to one of my favorite sections, the tomato section! I love tomatoes, but this has not always been the case. Growing up, I always liked marinara sauce and ketchup, things tomato based, but not tomatoes themselves. It may have been a texture thing. I have no idea. Then a few years ago, I started craving them non-stop. When I went in for a check-up with my doctor, I found out I was anemic and hence why I had the craving for tomatoes. Now, I love them and incorporate them into my diet almost on a daily basis. Again, the selection did not look as fancy as they normally do.

And unfortunately, that pretty much wraps up my #marketfriday post. I have to put all of my groceries away and do my meal plan for the next few days, but thought I would participate in the fun that was created by @dswigle. Thank you for creating such a fun and interesting challenge!

Sincerely,

I love some crisp fresh apples with peanut butter! Well, I love just about anything with peanut butter, so I might be biased. 😉

Yes!!! I make the nutter butters and peanut butter! Best SNACK eva!

I'll have to get that recipe from you.

Absolutely! Let me know which one you want and I'll send it!

@dswigle Both! I'd love to try them both out! They sound scrumptious!

I love peanut butter! Have you ever made it from scratch? My boyfriend and I tried once when he was visiting while on leave and it was soooooo good.

I love fresh-ground! I actually haven't made my own yet but I have done pecans and walnuts, which also make delicious nut butters!

Haven't tried those. I may look for some recipes online before his next leave which is coming up.

Oh, Ilsa! This was great! It also made me realize I hadn't eaten peanut butter in days! ;)

I need to keep you around to keep me nourished properly. Tomatoes seem to be that way with people. I have always loved them, but, we grew up with out own garden. I think when you work the garden as all the kids did, you tend to eat more from it, maybe?

Texture is definitely one of those things for most people. I am not at all about texture. Weird, huh?

Thanks for joining in and putting it together for #MarketFriday! You are doing great!

Tip!

Texture is a big part on things I eat. Especially strawberries. I love the flavor of them, I just cannot stand the texture of them. And they have an amazing taste! I wish my palate wasn't like that. I was a very picky eater growing up, but as an adult, I eat more vegetables and less junk food now than when I was younger.
