The St. Albert Farmer's Market Was Hell
Er, no. The market was awesome. The throngs and throngs of people were hell. Pure madness, I tell you! We behaved and didn't shop like mad. Grabbed some cherries. Organic baby potatoes to q up for supper. Organic baby carrots for Mika's first foray into vegetables. She's not 6 months old yet, but she's been eating single grain cereal since 4 months. The way that she stares and grunts when she sees us eating is getting kind of sad. Mika desperately wants our food. So we're going to let her try carrots. Then something dark green...any suggestions?
So yeah. That market is nuts. Plenty of temptations, too many people. Mika slept through pretty much all of it. From where we are staying, it's about a 15 minute walk through the trails to get there. Mika pulled her hat down and passed out just before we crossed the bridge into the mayhem and woke when we were about 3 minutes away from being outta there again. The walk from the house to downtown is awesome. Gonna have to do that one a few more times - especially since the Timothy's on the corner serves fair trade coffee. :P

Theya's first green was asparagus, then peas and green beans. She likes them all!
Hullo,
Just found your blog, and thought I would let you know what my daughter likes. Her first green was Avacado, very yummy, and easy to prepare, then green beans, and now she is at peas.
Good luck!
Avacado was messy and resulted in funny faces. Green beans were NOT liked. Fruits and wintery veggies seem to go over well.
You walk a lot.
We just brought home the food processor last night. The one we purchased was missing parts, so we had to exchange. Fed Mika organic processed baby food instead. Nice, eh? She had sweet potatoes and made the best faces ever! She looked horrified but kept eating more. We've got the organic baby carrots from the market to try out today.
We're thinking of trying either avocado or asparagus after that. Daddy wants to try making guacamole in the new mixer and has been hankering for more bbq grilled asparagus.
