farmers market and our new salad bar

Every weekend I have gone to the Murray Farmers market and purchased peaches, apples, pears, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and anything we can use for lunch. I have made some good friends with farmers and hope to continue our arrangement even after the market ends. Different varieties of apples arrive weekly and our students really enjoy the different tastes. I love the colors and smells of all of the different vegetables and fruits. The students have enjoyed all of this bounty at the salad bar, where they get to choose all that goes on their salad.

Salad Bar

Salad Bar is back!!

Salad bar day is a crazy day because there are tons of choices, but everyone loves it. We used a mix of chopped romaine and spring mix. The choices were cheese, peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, olives, tomato, cucumber, carrots and croutons.
With the salad bar we served fruit salad, garlic bread, macaroni salad and a little piece of apple cake. (The kindergarten is having apple week this week)

Here is the cake recipe...

I think you could sub more applesauce for half the butter if you wanted to make it lighter.
