  • Day 17 #100spring2019 . Happy St. Patrick's Day! . Food Story . While I'm not Irish by heritage, I do appreciate the significance of the day. In my own way to recognize the importance of wearing green, I choose to layer up the greens to eat the colour instead (my favourite colour)! 😂 . What do we have here? Can you see all the green plant-based foods I chose for my salad? . Spinach, green onions, sugar peas, pea shoots, avocado and pumpkin seeds were purchased at my favourite local food establishments, @naturesfaremarkets and @farmboundbox. The sunflower shoots are from local @pilgrimsproduce, purchased at the Vernon Seedy Saturday event. (Nice to meet you, and I'm looking forward to planting your German butter seed potatoes!) . I made a creamy dreamy dressing out of 1/2 an avocado with 3 Tbsp @oliveoilbc Sicilian Lemon balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp lemon oil oil, and a pinch of Thai Ginger sea salt (all from locally owned Olive Us). . What a beautiful salad - no filter or colour edit - with exceptional taste, and outstanding nutrition. Easy to make too! Terrific lunch. I encourage you to make it too. A perfect way to kick off spring this week with green food. . #happystpatricksday #stpatricksday #greenfood #supportlocal #buylocal #jerf #wholefoods #plantbased #vegandiet #vegan #healthy #healthyeats #greens #foodie #foodgram #homecook #homecooked #foodstory #canadianfood #foodstories What's #urfoodstory? 🌱
  • Day 16 #100spring2019 . Did you see that it looks like I forgot about Day 15? Nope. I ate a meal yesterday with locally sourced food but they were frozen leftovers from another meal I made a few weeks ago. Just wasn't in the mood to post it. (It was a stir fry with local vegetables and chicken. Yum.) Today however... . Food Story . I bought this delicious local sorbetto at @naturesfaremarkets; I'm proud to do a shoutout to folks from my home province of Alberta. Thank you @fiascogelato for another party-in-your-mouth exceptional flavour. Raspberry Lime has to be my new favourite right now! . Since it's been warming up dramatically here in Vernon, I thought it the perfect day to crack open a new batch and enjoy outside. Oh yum. And the vibrant colour goes well with my new pretty primroses I purchased at the season grand opening of The Flower Spot, my local flower greenhouse. . Springy food, springy plants, springy weather. Hello spring! . #supportlocal #buylocal #eatlocal #eatalberta #tastealberta #gelato #sorbetto #springtime #springflowers #vernonbc #greenhouse #foodie #foodgram #foodstories #foodstory #canadianfood #spring #treat #flowers #nofilter #truecolors #hellospring What's #urfoodstory?
  • Day 14 #100spring2019 . Happy Pi 🥧 Day! #piday #piday2019 . Totally need to focus on local bakeries that make pie, like our local @hotbreadshoppe in Vernon. And of course I made purchases! The first pic is an old fashioned 4-slice (or 2 LOL!) Apple Pie. The hand pies are Raspberry Jam. Of course I bought one as well. I shared it with my hubby. I know, mighty nice of me. 😁 . What pie are you eating today? Did you make or buy? . #supportlocal #downtownvernon #tastevernon #locallove #eatlocal #buylocal #bakeryfood #bakery #loveyourbaker #vernonbc #pieday #pie #foodie #foodgram #foodstories What's #urfoodstory? 🌱
