The farmers market

Happy Saturday all! The day started out great with an awesome showing of the scale; I lost another pound-ish for a grand total of a 27.4 pound loss this year.  I looked back at my spark people from when I was on Atkins and I’ve lost more now than I did that summer/fall.  Yay!  Of course, I’m not back down to where I started Atkins.  I hope to get there next week.

Dan and I started the day early because we had a few farmers markets we wanted to hit before Dan’s swim meet.   To fuel ourselves before the farmers market we made dessert oats!  We mixed the apple crisp that Dan made Thursday with some oatmeal.  Yum!

So, the mixture started out with plain oats. IMG_0212_edited-1
I added all bran buds for crunch.

and then the yummiest part.

MMMMM sweet.  It was great!  We headed out to a farmers market in Cherry Creek and realized that it was all super expensive.

I love all the fall colors.

There were also some strange looking watermelons.

I got some more fun pictures that I’ll share later.  Dan and I have decided to keep going to more farmers markets to hunt down good deals and photographs.

Does anyone know of a good and cheap farmers market in the Denver metro area?

Congrats on the loss! :) Whoo hoo! I gotta get some of those bran buds to toss in my greek yogurt to get a lil crunch going. YUM! :) I never remember unless I am reading your blog! lol

So weird how farmers markets vary from city to city. Some are so over priced! I hate that! Why pay more than at the supermarkets???!!

Congrat's on the weight loss!! Everything at the farmers market looks sooo good!! Yum!! The Farmers Markets here are usually pricier to, but you're buying fresh from the farmer (no middle man) & organic usually, so I find it's "worth it".

Thanks guys! Half dozen, you're right, it's nice to buy directly from the farmer, unfortunately cost reigns supreme these days :(
