Herbed Kohlrabi Chicken

This is a super simple recipe using kohlrabi that I bought from a local farm. This was my first experience using kohlrabi and I enjoyed it very much. Although I didn't enjoy cutting it as it is so hard to cut! This recipe also features one of my favorite ingredients:Kerrygold Butter. Yes, I know...OMG What?!? Butter!!?? Haha. Anyhow. This butter is imported and comes from grass fed cows so it is a natural source of CLA. Many people take CLA as a fat loss supplement but I would much rather get it from delicious creamy Kerrygold :)

Local Eats...Local Treats

So, I have been trying to make a conscientious effort to live a bit more of an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Part of this effort includes trying to buy local foods more often. I have been trying to go to more farmers markets but was having a difficult time since many of the weekend markets in my area do not operate at this time of year. Luckily, I was able to find a really amazing local farm in the area through Groupon called The Urban Farmer. I was so excited! And with good reason. I don't know how but their veggies are soooo good! Every time I have gotten tomatoes they taste so sweet like candy and I can't stop eating them. I used to hate tomatoes! 
Another great think is that I have been able to find some really interesting veggies that I had never tried before. Some of the veggies I have tried from The Urban Farmer that were new to me included long beans, pattypan squash, kholrabi, and tongue of fire beans. Hopefully I will soon be able to share with you some of the things I come up with using the more interesting fruits and veggies that I find.
If anyone knows of other farms or places that local foods can be purchased in the South Florida area don't hesitate to share!!

Caramelized Onions....

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!! So I recently stumbled upon a recipe in Clean Eating Magazine for sliders withe caramelized onions inside. The recipe was done by Candice Kumai and was super amazing :) happy tummy. I made mine into full sized burgers instead of sliders and had them on Ezekiel bread with spinach tomatoes and provolone. I added the half devoured pic to show the caramelized goodness inside. I didn't post the recipes since it isn't mine and it can probably be located on the Clean Eating website
