Oh, how I love and cherish summertime! As a Chicagoan and lifelong Midwesterner, I grin and bear the harsh winters knowing that one day, I'll be gifted with warm summer days. And like all good things, summers seem to fly by in a blink of an eye!
One of my favorite things to do on Sundays in the summer is visit neighborhood farmers markets. The Wicker Park Farmers Market is the closest to me but occasionally, I enjoy the variety of booths at the Logan Square one.
Meal prepping in the summer can be hard since I first see what's seasonal at the farmers market and then plan my meals around those vegetables. During the winters, I plan my meals during the week and keep a running grocery list.
Lately, I've been seeing a lot of tomatoes, spring onion, and spinach. I'm thinking scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spring onion, spinach for smoothies and if I have anything leftover by the end of the week, I'll throw together some chili.
“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”
