We stocked up at the supermarket yesterday and this morning we went to the feira (farmer's market) for our produce. I miss home, but I'm so glad to be back to inexpensive produce! Here are a few pictures I took today as well as my stash of goodies for the week.
Now on to the links I enjoyed this week...
Pink Bites posted a recipe for my favorite soup in Brazil. Try some Caldo Verde if you need some warm comfort food this week.
Buff Chickpea is sharing all her lemon recipes with us. Lemon isn't always my favorite, but after the holidays and all the heavy desserts, lemon can be light and refreshing. I loved the cookies she had up this week. Yum!
Daily Spud posted a simple and unique dessert recipe that meets just about every food and eating style imaginable. A great option for those of us trying to get back on track with healthy eating after the holidays.

I am DROOLING at your pictures of mangos and watermelons. What I wouldn't give to have some good, ripe watermelon right now or a mango that didn't cost $2.
Yes!! I was waiting for this post, as always, haha!! You know I love my dose of the "links to a healthy weekend" :-)
Hope the weekend has been fabulous for you, Lori!!
cathy - While I often complain about my lack of ingredients the produce (except for no blueberries or cranberries) is something I'll never complain about. It is amazing. And the mangos are R$ 2 per kilo. So less than a dollar for 2.2 lbs. Crazy!!
VeggieGirl - So glad I've got you out there waiting. :) You keep me on track. I knew I couldn't pass it up this weekend. :)
Glad you made it back safe! The farmers market looks amazing- look at those mangos! Enjoy whats left of this weekend ;)
Thanks for the mention Lori, much appreciated :)
Meanwhile I am jealous of your access to all of that fresh and inexpensive produce. Fresh mango has to be one of my favourites - not, alas, ever likely to be produced natively in Ireland though!
Thank you so much for the link, it's always nice to be in such good company. And that produce, I am sooo jealous! I can't wait until Summer when all the farmer's markets sprout back up again.
All that fresh produce looks SO good!! Yum!
I just recently discovered your blog but enjoyed the first "links to a healthy weekend" that I have read : )
Hope you have a great Monday!
That watermelon looks so good- as does the other produce. My local farmers market had some apples, pears, and root veggies. Nothing as colorful as what you have. I can't wait for summer!
Glad you made it home (or home away from home) safe!
beautiful fruits and veggies!
Erica - Thanks! I'm glad to be back to blogging on a more regular basis and cooking too.
Daily Spud - I'm definitely trying to enjoy them while I can. We get a few from the coasts in the US, but nothing like what I can get here.
Hayley - It is always so interesting here. Even though the seasons barely change the fruit still has its high season. Right now it is the middle of summer here fruit can be found everywhere.
lesley - Thanks! I hope you have a great Monday as well.
gastroanth - Glad to hear you can still get a few things. One thing I can get here year round is squash like pumpkin and butternut and root veggies like manioc. I've learned to use them a lot lately.
Laura - Thanks! I'm working on catching up on everyone's blogs now. :)
Lauren - It tastes as good as it looks, better really!
I'm so late to all these posts! The feira looks so wonderful and I was happy to hear you tasted jackfruit from there. I can't wait until the snow melts here in MN and our farmer's markets are back in action. It's summer in Brazil right now, isn't it? [Sigh]
Tangled Noodle - I know it sounds crazy, but I'm a bigger winter fan. Considering I live in Brazil sans beach, the summers are pretty miserable here with little to no AC. If I had a beach that might be a different story. :) I am grateful for the amazing produce though.
