Crazy Carrot

May 2, 2010 by Julie 26 Comments

Those butterscotch brownies were g-o-o-d, but don’t you worry, my day wasn’t completed dominated by indulgent sweets.

I did manage to eat a serving or two of vegetables. 😉

I picked up lots of fresh goodies at the farmer’s market today… Most notably, this freak carrot!

Crazy Carrot

Crazy, huh?

The carrot was among a plethora of produce that I picked up today while on a long walk with Ryan and Sadie late this morning.

The Goods

I put the veggies to use in a big bowl of roasted vegetables for dinner this evening.

I topped the broccoli, carrots and Brussels sprouts with a MorningStar Farms Italian herb chik patty. 

Roasted Veggies + Chik Patty

Farmer's Market Freshness

Gotta love the freshness of farmer’s market veggies!

Dessert

Tonight’s dessert was an easy decision because I had a free coupon for cefiore, a frozen yogurt shop in College Park.

We headed out for our sweet treat at dusk and enjoyed it outside on the patio.

Dark Chocolate + Strawberry

We split a cup of dark chocolate and strawberry swirl frozen yogurt which was refreshingly cool and creamy.

I think we should get a frozen yogurt machine for our apartment. Is that something we can register for? 😉

    Your blog gives me daily froyo envy! That veggie bowl looks even tastier though, you made that patty look super tasty.

    It kind of annoys me that the farmers market near our house doesn’t allow dogs! Seriously!

    You can TOTALLY register for a frozen yogurt machine! My parents used to have one by Cuisinart and it was great! You could even mix the sprinkles RIGHT IN.
    I wish I had more fro-yo places near me…most of ours are just regular soft serve ice cream (which is delicious, obviously, but not as friendly to the waistline!) 😉

    Fresh veggies are the best! I should try the Morningstar chix. Did you put any sort of sauce on it?

      i actually didn’t, but i roasted the veggies after tossing them in olive oil & garlic salt so they were pretty flavorful.

    I second that on the Cuisinart FroYo Machine! I have one-it’s fabulous! It takes up a lot of space, though, so it’s not something I can use every day but it’s GREAT to have on hand and not very expensive!

    I think someone gave us a frozen yogurt maker. We also LOVE our homemade ice cream maker (cold school type). Registering is a blast!

    Yay!! So excited for farmer’s markets!!

    We got a cuisinart ice cream maker as a wedding gift, and you can TOTALLY make frozen yogurt in it! I’ve used greek yogurt before to make fro yo that tastes JUST like pinkberry!

    You can also make really good ice cream in it 🙂

    There is this lady who has a blog with tons of protien ice cream recipes that end up tasting like fro yo! I have a cheap ice cream machine and it works fine. My fav (and from what I can tell by your blog you will love) is peanut butter cup. Friggin delish! Check her out: world according to eggface. She’s great! I’m going to make some now!
