A Great Start

I kicked off the month of February by meeting a friend at the monthly farmer's market known as Qout Market.  It has grown so much since we attended the very first one in November.

 I came home with lots of organic and healthy products.

 And as long as I bring lunch, everyone is happy.  (The black bean veggie burger was for me, Zack had the Japanese burger and that left the apple chicken for hubby.)

 The weather was absolutely wonderful with an amazing cloud show the entire day.
It certainly made for a very entertaining walk this afternoon.

 A friend at school invited me to join the above challenge.  You can read more about it at the Skinny Dip Society.  Its mission:

Women diving into life fully, undressing their souls, shedding the weight and celebrating each other on the journey. It’s time for a revolution of happy. wild. brave. free. ALIVE women. {It’s contagious.}

Our first challenge was to eat like a queen.

Basically, slowing down and enjoying the moment and the food.

I had pumpkin kebba, lemon tahini quinoa salad, Mama Ghanouj and beetroot hummus.

Everything was purchased from the market today, except for the quinoa salad that I made yesterday from a recipe found in The China Study Cookbook.

I even used the tomatoes from our balcony and boy were they good.

Here's to a healthy, happy month.

Happy February!
