Last night I got into my Fall cookin’ and bakin’ ritual on Sunday evenings…I just love the cozy feeling of being cooped up in my apartment, cooking up a hearty meal that fills each room with beautiful and delicious harvest aromas…after visiting the farmer’s market yesterday, I decided to make use of my fresh heirloom tomatoes and prunes, which I purchased at the Union Square Farmer’s Market downtown…The weather was beautiful this weekend here in Manhattan and I my little legs are exhausted from walking around all day… soaking up the sun and taking in all the fresh produce glistening on every street corner…I simply couldn’t resist.
Yes, I spend a good portion of my paycheck on food…and yes, it’s worth it because the taste n’ flavor of fresh, local and organic produce from the local farmers is hard to beat…the best part? Well, that’s surely when I sit down to my meal and savor each bite of my scrumptious masterpiece…my evening meal… my time to relax in front of my nonexistant television, hehe … my time to think about my life, my day, my future … my next cooking adventure…
This tasty Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan and Vegetarian Baked ‘Salad’ is incredible and perfect for a crisp Fall evening. I paired this dish with a bowl of white bean soup with toasted almonds to round out a perfect dinner for ‘One’…
And then to laugh, and giggle and smile, because an entire weekend went by with the only form of being ‘hit on’ or compliments were from the farmers at the produce stands, hehe… yes, it seems to have been this way for years, but that’s okay… Mr. Fabulous will come along soon enough … Hey, perhaps he’ll be next to me at the market next weekend, hehe…
Enjoy!
