Saturday Discoveries

Every Saturday it's the same routine...I wake up at seven to get to the local farmer's market by eight so that I can snatch up all of the best goodies before they all get gone, I come home plan out my week's menu, and then usually do some housework, some blog work, and then that evening we usually get takeout or end up going out to eat.  It's a great Saturday actually and there really is no reason to disturb my routine...but I have had a couple people recently telling me about how the Lafayette farmer's market is really neat, and the town itself has great food and is super cute.

A girlfriend and I decided to shake up our Saturday routines (which is really good to do) and head to Lafayette, Louisiana yesterday and make a day of it by hitting up the farmer's market, eating lunch and exploring the town a little.  It was a great day and I had no idea that I had been missing out on a place that is less than an hour down the road.

It's Cajun country at its best, so the market was full of unique vendors, live Cajun music, and lots of yummy smells coming from every direction...and there was face painting, which of course we had to partake in!   There we were, two thirty somethings waiting in line with all the other little girls who were getting their face painted too, and I'm not sure who was more excited..us or them.  Probably us...

Country Table: Farm to Fork

Meet Kallie and Lauren...the founders of the growing farm to fork delivery service, Country Table.  If you live in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area you might already be familiar with the services that these two ladies are providing.  If not, you need to get familiar...and I'm here to help you out a little bit!  I had the pleasure of sitting down and getting to know all about, what they are all about and I couldn't resist sharing it with you!

I am a huge fan of buying local food and creating your weekly menu based off of whatever is available for the season and the week.  You know where it came from, you are supporting local farmers, and it just tastes so much better! 

Country Table is doing it right...bringing local produce, meats, fresh eggs, and even beauty products right to your doorstep, doing the hard work for you...all you have to do is eat it! 

Pretty awesome!  Just look at these berries!
