She may not know this but I always loved to go to the farmers market with my mother. I’m glad to say that I continue to love the farmers market as an adult. Raleigh has a great market and in this trip we picked up something new to try…beets! Chrysa said beets are good for runners so we gave them a go. I did a simple oven roasted version with salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. They turned out great! I don’t know if they helped our running at all but I would certainly get them again.

We entered here anyway.
Chrysa shopping.
I made a great dinner with our bountiful harvest. Greek style lemon and rosemary chicken with roasted beets and balsamic strawberry shortcake. Not bad if I do say so myself. In the words of my idol Julia Bon Appetit!
