Farmer’s Market “Vacation”

Since it’s raining so much today, Food Jules will NOT be at the Farmers Market. I believe the market is still going on but I will not be there

Also, next Friday is my cousin’s wedding so I will NOT be at the Farmers Market on Sept 30th either. If you need Jams, Granola or any baked goodies for the weekend, you can email me and we can figure something out. I have some freshly baked BANANA BLUEBERRY BREAD and DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS today.

Food Jules will return to the market with yummy goodies on Friday, October 2nd.

Our Vacation

We just returned from vacation. We visited family, did some sightseeing and enjoyed each other and the beautiful weather and scenery in Portugal.

It was nice to get away from it all, see my aunts and uncles and cousins as well as visit with my only living grandmother. Even though my grandmother didn’t recognize me, because of her alzheimer’s, I have to say it was such a pleasure and so magical to look into her eyes again. There was something sincere and special in the way I was able to look into her beautiful, sweet eyes. While I visited with her, I couldn’t help but think about how she would one day see my Julian, sooner then me, perhaps and how I wanted to travel with her there, in spirit.

It was a lovely trip. The weather in Portugal is absolutely wonderful! It was nice to spend some quality time with my parents too, who traveled with us. The kids enjoyed having them around and missed them terribly when we left them to return home. My aunt and uncle, who are so very close to me, were so excited to see the kids.

Personally, I would have preferred a little more quiet time, but the kids and Michael enjoyed doing all the sightseeing and visiting with everyone. I have to admit that it was nice to get away from everyone and everything here for a little while. I enjoyed being “taken care of” by my aunt and not having to cook, clean etc. It was a nice break from my daily responsibilities. Although, I have to admit that I did miss baking muffins and made pancakes the first morning we returned home.

Needless to say, that I will be back at the Monroe Farmers Market on Friday and will be featuring the popular Chicken Empanadas, Spicy Beef Empanadas, Banana Blueberry Bread, Morning Glory Muffins and Blueberry Crumb Muffins. See you soon.

Stock Up.

We have a NEW item today at the market, an Organic Blueberry Peach Jam. It is absolutely delicious and low in sugar. My dear friend, Carie, came to visit us at the market last week, all the way from New York with her three beautiful children. She made me a couple different jams and one of them was a Blueberry Peach mix. It was delicious so it inspired me to make one for our line of Jams.

I should also mention that my friend, Lisa, inspired my Strawberry-Blackberry Jam, one of our most popular jams, when she told me that she combines store bought Blackberry and Strawberry Jam because she loves the combination and can’t find one that has both in the grocery stores.

So, thank you to Carie and Lisa for your great ideas and for being great friends.

Stop by the market TODAY to try these delicious jams and stock up on our Hot Fudge Sauce.
