Spicy Leek Soup - Farm fresh

See those adorable carrots -my parents grew those in their garden. I was so proud of them. They also grew those little peppers, which were super spicy. I had to encorporate them into a soup. I also stopped by the Farmer's market in Orangeville in order to get a few more ingredients. This i guess was a leek soup, but i also threw in all the veggies in my fridge.




Lots of chopping


The peppers were so hot i had to pick up some cream to add to the soup. At the same time i also picked up some smoked cheddar and some really nice bread from The Fromagarie in my neighbourhood.

Cheese and bread - my favorite!

Watermelon and feta Salad


I had already taken one run at watermelon salad, and it was pretty good, but when i was heading up to the cottage, i stopped at the farmers market that i often do - and they had these melons called ``Sugar Babies`` so i thought i would try it again, but this time with a little sweeter ingredients.


Summer is ending so the veggies and fruits are becoming a little less exciting for me, but squash will be around soon, and it will be soup season.





For this version i used these sweet little orange tomatoes, i cut them, but you could almost eat them just like candies. I also added the watermelon, cucumber, feta and some mint. This time though i cut everything a little smaller as the last time it was good, but you weren`t getting the all of the flavours in each bite.

Montgomery Inn Farmer's Market

I stopped by the Farmer's Market at the Montgomery Inn at Dundas and Islington. It certainly isn't the biggest one around, and i was disapointed that they didn't have breads and a lot of cheeses like the one in Trinity Bellwoods did - but there was still lots to try!

A happy sign

This corn was delicious

Heirloom tomatoes (my new obsession)

My veggie haul

Samsara Fields was the place i got the Heirloom tomatoes from and they were excellent
