Overland Park Farmers Market

This past Saturday was the perfect day to go check out one of the many local Famers Markets that we have here in Kansas City. I chose the Overland Park Farmers Market because it is only a few miles from my house, but I have heard great things about the City Market in downtown Kansas City too!


There were tons of people, produce, flowers and live music! 



Shopping local is a great way to support your community, as well as keep your wallet full! I found some great produce while I was at the market as well as some new yummy smelling soap and lip balm.

Foster the People


Today the debut album of Foster the People was released, if you are not familiar with them now is your chance.  The indie rock/pop band is from Los Angeles, California and they rock live (we know from experience).

Summer Succotash

Our arugula is groing crazy in our back yard so we were looking for a new arugula recipe to try. I came across this Summer Succotash at smittenkitchen.com. It was a great fresh Summer/Spring dish. We substituted the shell beans for edamame, and left out the bacon. It was delicious, and i would recommend it as a must-try summer side dish!
