Ellie & Charlie's Nature Garden

One of the vendors at the Turlock Farmer's Market last week was Ellie & Charlie's Nature Garden an Organic grower out of Patterson. They had these lovely lettuce bags all prepped. I may never buy bagged salad again. This stuff is AMAZING. It's keeping lovely in the fridge too.

I made taco salads and a chef salad this week both were wonderful.

Angela's Sweets Yummy Review

This week at the Turlock Farmer's Market I got a great chance to be a locavore and try out some new local places I haven't been to.

We got cookies and brownies from Angela's Sweets which just opened on Broadway. The bakery was adorable and my daughter loved her cookies. I finally tried a brownie. Oh my god YUMMY!!

I highly recommend checking them out.

They have a website which can be found HERE or you can go to their bakery or you can join us for the next Farmer's Market and check out their booth.

Quickie Shells with Cheese

Ok so I totally made this up about 2 nights ago. I was going to make macaroni and cheese but I didn't have all the ingredients and I didn't want to make a 9 x 13 pan because we'd never finish it...so this is the recipe I made instead.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 can chicken broth

1 can whole milk

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 package shell pasta (cooked)

salt & pepper to taste

Combine butter and flour (season to taste) and brown slightly in a pan. Add broth and milk, stir until mixed together and warm. Add cheese and melt. Pour over pasta and put into a pyrex pan. Bake 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. (I topped mine with a little shredded colby to make it pretty)

Yummy!
