Can you believe it is already Week 5 of the Farmer’s Market? It makes me sad because that means summer is flying by too quickly! I can not believe that it is July 17th. I just can’t! *sniff.
Last night, Eric and I were running a couple errands and we had the windows down in the car and the music cranked (Billionaire! bahaha). It was one of those ‘I love summer so unbelievably much’ moments. There was a gorgeous sunset and the air was crisp and fresh. I felt like sticking my head out of the window, but I restrained myself.
Today’s Glo Bar flaaavas:
Chocolate Peanut Butter macaroons!
Truly unbelievable…I wish I could give all of you one!
NEW this week…
Presenting Crunchy Peanut Butter Maple Macaroons…
The crunch = rice crisp cereal. Oh gosh they are so good. They also have maple butter in them! Mmmm.
I also modified my Cherry, Banana, and Coconut Butter Bread recipe and made Dark chocolate chip banana bread…
Modifications:
- Added 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
- Used maple butter in place of coconut butter
- No cherries (they didn’t have any organic at the market last week)
Awesome.
I sliced it up and wrapped them up for sale individually.
I woke up with the song ‘Stay’ by Lisa Loeb in my head. It’s still in my head as I type this. We heard it in a store last night and I sang every word to the song and Eric goes…’What song is this and why do you know all the words…?’ LOL, men….I tried explaining to him that the song was the anthem of my 90’s, but he didn’t get it.
This morning I had to pull out all of the ‘wake me up’ stops.
Wake me up 1)
Tea in a CAT mug.
It’s the little things.
Wake me up 2)
Breakfast this morning was Vegan Overnight Oats (1/2 cup oats, 1.25 cup almond milk, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1/4 scoop Amazing Grass Chocolate Amazing Meal) along with a chopped banana I added in afterwards.
So thick and doughy!
Couple things to note:
- I doubled the chia seeds from 1 tbsp to 2 tbsp for more satiety today
- I whipped the VOO for about 3-4 minutes with a whisk before placing it in the fridge. I swear this made it thicker!
- If you are having problems with your VOO being too liquidy, you need more chia seeds! I had to add an extra 1/4 cup of milk this AM because mine got too thick!
Wake me up 3)
My favourite MAC Select concealer for the eyes
I resorted to cutting open the end to get it all out. Ladies, don’t try to act like you don’t do this! If you have tried this MAC cover-up you will know why I did that. :biggrin:
I also packed a couple In a Jiffy Curry Chickpea burgers for us to snack on around lunchtime! I love these so much I am thinking of turning them into a Savoury Protein Breakfast Bar.
Well, I better pack up the car and head to the Oakville Organic Market..see you later!
PS- Don’t forget to enter the picture poll– there is a tie right now…it’s going to be a close one!
Oh my gosh, YES. That song was totally my anthem in sixth grade. I loved the whole Reality Bites soundtrack.
Good luck at the market today! And yes, I can’t think about how far into summer we are without crying a little too :-(
Angela, you are a genius w. all these new flavors/products. I think a savory breakfast bar is a GREAT idea!!!
Do you use MAC powder or any of their other products?
Nope, the concealer is the only thing I use by MAC…I got hooked on it before my wedding in 2008!
Everything looks so delicious and I know you will sell out. Wish I could come load up.
Good luck at the market today! I’m half tempted to trek to Canada JUST to try some Glo stuff :P Oh, and to say thankyou for bringing VOO and spelt pancakes into my lfie!
Oooh I have a question about the MAC cover up – I use all MAC products too and you can recycle the empty tubes for a free product. I wonder if it’s cut if they will still take it??
Not sure!
Oh God, give me those macaroons and banana bread! I’m drooling!
They look delicious! Do you distribute to any stores in the US or are you online only?
Melanie (@sfgirl @pintmuse)
For US, online only right now..maybe some day!
Thanks for responding! I hope so too. :-)
Crunchy Peanut Butter Maple Macaroons! Chocolate Chip Banana Bread! GIMME GIMME GIMMEEEEEEE! D:
Wei-Wei
I love that feeling of driving in the summer in gorgeous weather with the music cranked. It feels so carefree!
Good luck at the market today!
Whenever I see the pictures of your Farmers Market food it makes we wish I could go to Canada just to try some, they all look so tasty!!
Ha, I have never cut open the back of a make-up thing like that but I do go to pretty great lengths to get the last of my toothpaste out.
All that foods looks pretty darn good! Especially those Glo-Bars! Do you ship them to Chicago by chance?? Because I swear I have seen something similar at the Whole Foods here and Farmers Market.
These look great! I’m sad that farmer’s markets will be gone soon, too, but we do actually have a year-round market that sells local, seasonal produce.
I hope your Market customers keep up the buying! Do you have a physical bakery store, or is it all online?
By the way, I just tried a VOO SoftServe where I added cinnamon to my VOO before refrigerating it overnight. I don’t use any chocolate so maybe that’s why this is blowing me away! I’m going to spazz slightly about it on my blog later :-p
Have a great Market day!
Good luck at the farmers market!
Hey Angela,
I love your blog. My friend and I always say the best thing is tea in a kitten cup so I was happy to see yours! I hope it helped you wake up :)
Laura
Angela, I used to work at MAC and oh how I miss the free products and the unbelievable discount. Also to Jessica, yes when I worked there we would stil take damaged containers for the recycling and free lipstick program!
Good to know!
I am so sad every week that I can’t go buy out your stand at the Farmer’s Market that I may just have to start ordering online!
Oh my gosh… I loved that song!!! Your macaroons look amazing!
i will have to get my hands on that concealer to see what you’re talking about…Lord knows i could use some!
