On our way home today from the wedding festivities, we (Mr. & I) stumbled upon a really unique "raised with love" meat and produce market. It was just the stop I needed to get that bounce back in my step. Until then I was feeling pretty dang tired and unmotivated, rightfully so I suppose! It was such a charming little place... we LOVED it - so much that I plan to dedicate tomorrow's post entirely to this great little discovery!
From the goodies we purchased, we prepared quite the feast. I am going to let the photos do most of the talking but first some quick details on what we used to pull together this unexpected fantastic Sunday night feast:
From the Market (These are also the items that Mr. was responsible to prepare)
Whole Chicken - Raised with Love
Sweet Corn
From the Kitchen (And...the items I was responsible to prepare)
Whole Mushrooms
Fresh Green Beans
Raw Sliced Almonds
And that's it! Just these basic ingredients, add a touch of spices and soy oil, and the creation was a picture perfect Sunday feast!
 |
| Whole mushrooms seasoned with red pepper flakes, ground pepper, sea salt, and drizzled with soy oil - cooked stove top. |
 |
| Fresh green beans seasoned with a little sea salt, and ground pepper...added some water and cooked stove-top to your liking - I like them crunchy, Mr. likes them soft so we tend to compromise! |
 |
| We ran out of propane so we had to use the charcoal grill; I was a little annoyed at first but was so worth the wait! I had forgotten what a wonderful twist the charcoal makes! |
 |
| Last minute, I decided to do some raw sliced almonds for a topping to the mushrooms and green beans. SO GOOD! I just took a little soy butter to a pan and let them brown. It's the perfect crunch and taste to the vegetables. |
 |
| All done! Green Beans, Mushrooms, topped with Sliced Almonds. Delish! |

| Mr.'s Famous Chicken (it was so tasty that it should be considered famous!) Super simple ingredients 1. Simply Organic Minced Onion 2. Simply Organic All Purpose Seasoning 3. 1/8 Can of Beer (add this to the bottom of the foil - keeps the chicken moist) All wrapped in foil and placed on the charcoal grill for hmm an hour an a half or so... |
 |
| Sweet Corn 1. Left in husk - Soak in water for 20 minutes or so..2. Place directly on grill grate 3. Cook until husk is blackened (as shown in picture) |
 |
| So impressed with Mr.'s skills in helping me pull this together. |
 |
| Yep, picture perfect and oh so mouthwatering! |
 |
| It was too "fancy" to not add a glass of wine! Mmm Mmm Mmm! |
Keep it Clean & Enjoy the Ride!
