Farmers Market Finds

What a beautiful day in Santa Barbara! The weather today was so nice, I spent the morning at the Farmers Market. I decided that I have to start spending more Saturday mornings at the Farmer's Market. I love looking at all the organic produce and getting inspiration for the evenings dinner.
I saw these lushish heirloom tomatoes and a menu came to me in an instant...

Balsamic Chicken
with a Tomato Basil Salata
on a bed of Steamed Rapini
topped with Goat Cheese Feta

YUMMY
Ingredients
2 organic free range chicken breasts
2 heirloom tomatoes ( 1 red 1 yellow), diced
fresh basil, sliced into ribbons
1 bunch of rapini (collard green)
marinated goat cheese feta crumbled
1 cup 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP organic olive oil
rock salt
fresh ground pepper
1 bouquet of purple & yellow flowers.
This recipe is SO EASY

Chicken
Marinate chicken in 1 cup of balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until it's done.

Tomato Basil Salata
Combine diced tomato and basil ribbons in a bowl. Toss with 1 TBSP olive oil & 1/2 TBSP balsamic vinegar. Chill for at least 15 minutes

Rapini
I put the Rapini in a skillet with a little water and cover it for 5 minutes.


To serve, Chicken breast on a bed on Rapini. Top Chicken with the tomato basil salata and sprinkle feta on top. ENJOY.

Place flower bouquet in a vase and set on the table.

Woohla! Amazing Farmer's Market Dinner!

To my surprise, Mikey gave me pink Gerbera Daisies today, so I added them to the flowers.


My other amazing find today.......... I'm so excited, I found this Moroccan Lantern for $15 at the SB flea market.

I have seen these lanterns go for over $200. I am getting married in June and we are planning a party with a hint of Moroccan style...this will be perfect. I also found a couple cobalt blue vases for $1 each. Yippe.

See you all again soon! Hopefully it won't take me 3 months to write another post.
