Saturday night and It’s only me and Olive. I am enjoying some quiet time outside with a bubbly kombucha.  Justin took off to the mountains yesterday for a breather. He really needed to go for a ride up to the wilderness together with all his gear for the weekend. He loves it.

In the mean time I’m enjoying this box of goods. The other day I used some of the apples to make a maple, cinnamon compote on top of a chia pudding.

I made a chia pudding with 1 cup coconut milk, 4 tbsp chia seeds and some raw honey to sweeten a little. Let it sit in the fridge until its thicken. In the mean time cut 3 apples in peaces, throw them in a pot together with 1/3 cup water , 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tbsp and cinnamon or more if you like.  Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a good 15-20 minutes. Then mash some of the apple peaces with a fork. I like the compote to be a little chunky. When the apples are soft let it cool before serving it on top of the chia pudding. Simple and delicious… and healthy!

It might look like it’s cold out, but it’s the opposite. It’s extremely hot and a little humid, it feels like. Anyway.. . I met up with Eleni and Anna-Maria at the farmers market this morning. A rainbow of colors with delicious in season fruits and veggies.

I have never seen dragon fruit at the farmers market before. This old man are growing them down in Torrance at his farm.  Dragon fruits has either red or white meat, the most common here is white, but if you buy the frozen pure it’s red. The taste is basically the same. Look at those small cuties. I got the big one… not sure what to do with it yet. Maybe just eat it like it is or make ice cream…  I will let you know.

Passion fruits are my favorite.

Eleni is getting some apples.

Sweet italian peppers, yum! Eleni told me to throw them in a pan with fresh oregano and garlic. Will do!

I know what i’m gonna do on friday! I’m going to the farmers market in Venice. My good ol friday mooring routine. Yes!
