Week Three

Well, here we are- three weeks in and I'm already slacking. On the blog at least...and with taking pictures for the blog....

This week was artichokes- YUM! Now, this might be a slight cheat due to the fact that I've made artichokes once before this week, but I wanted to experiment nonetheless. Quinoa and pasta with artichokes were sprinkled throughout the week ending with a big steamed artichoke to go along with lasagna and bread :)

Since artichokes are pretty, here are some pictures from a little adventure Alex and I went on yesterday. Leavenworth is a cute little town about two hours away, full of bookstores, shops, restaurants, carriage rides and snow. It also happens to be the ultimate food adventure.


Every store you walk in there are samples- who doesn't love samples?! Cheese, chocolate, oil and vinegar and even some free apple cider.




We also went to a little bakery and got a pretzel and "bulverian waffle" which doesn't look anything like a waffle and tastes like a bag of sugar. It was delightful and a completely enchanting little town.




Overall it was a wonderful day and a perfect way to spend saturday. Week four is quickly approaching...Not quite sure what that means, but we shall see :)
