Greetings friends!
I had a lovely morning of sleeping in followed by a trip to the local farmers market.
Almost as soon as I walked in, I noticed a new vendor.
I’m a sucker for carbs, and I have a real weakness for challah. That golden top. That buttery interior. That sweet flavor. Nommm…
After sampling a small piece, I knew that a loaf, by Crust & Crumb Rustique, was coming home with me.
We were in a bit of a rush to get to the market and hit the grocery store (lots of party preparing later!), so I looked for breakfast at the market.
I found it in the form of granola bar with whole wheat, flax seed, cranberries, and sweetened with honey.
And on the way out I totally fell for a sampling – local honey over steel cut oats. The Cloister honey was selling steel cut oats in bags, so they had samples of both the oats and their fabulous honey.
I ended up bringing a bottle home. Can’t wait to share what I got!
Once home, I knew I had to dig straight into that challah.
Yum!
I had the challah straight-up with some tomato-basil soup from Earthfare.
So simple, so good.
And then I headed out for a fundraising zumbathon. I didn’t co-lead any songs since I wasn’t helping coordinate this one. I just went for support. 
Next up on TCL – this deliciousness! Details soon!

Atherton Market, right? I was at that market today too because I ate at Luna’s! We got there too late though and nearly everything was packed up.
Your bread looked really good!
Yes! I need to go to Lunas soon! I love their quinoa burger!
Your next mission, from your neighborhood Jew: MAKE some challah!
Mara – I still haven’t made it! But I need to. May I please come to Chicago to visit you for a challah making party?
I LOVE Challah bread and have no way of getting it where I live currently. But, my mom just sent 2 loaves in the mail, and I freeze them and use them slowly. Yum:)
Lucky!
I’m so jealous your market’s already open. We still have to wait a few more months! That challah looks amazing!
Oooo, that blue icing looks ridic!
I just blogged about a farmer’s market as well! Aren’t they amazing?! That challah looks so good. And so does the granola bar!!
Haha, I was with Erin at Luna’s for lunch. So funny that you probably there right around the same time as us! I wish I’d known, I would have invited you to lunch
Let me know next time you go. I’m craving some Lunas!
Mmm, not a whole lot can beat some good Challah. I can’t wait until I can go exploring in Orlando and find out some of our better farmer’s markets and stands, etc…there should be tons, I just have to locate them!
oooh that challah looks incredible! i’ve never bought a whole loaf but that makes me wanna get some now
Which Farmer’s Market do you go to in Charlotte?
Usually I go to Atherton Mills in South End.
