Hi guys!
How is everyone’s Monday goin’ so far? Short week ahead!! I’m getting more and more excited about going to Madison on Friday—mainly because I mapped it all out and it looks like this unbelievable farmer’s market that so many of you have emailed me about is only two blocks from the hotel I’m staying at! You better believe I’ll be going for a run then hitting the market early on Saturday morning! 
The only problem is that Ryan can’t go! I’ve been online all morning searching for cheap last minute airfares but no luck. Does anyone have some secret website they go through to get cheap fares? The fact that its a holiday weekend really isn’t helping much.
Breakfast was a toasted ezekiel muffin with almond butter and raspberry preserves with a rather unripe kiwi on the side—
We seriously go through so much food at a rapid pace in this house. We are out of spinach, kale and bananas so no green monster today! I need to make a Publix pit-stop!
Later in the morning I chomped on some grapes while on a conference call—
And made a light, early lunch because I’m headed to the gym in a few! I had a falafel Sunshine Burger (cooked on the stove for maximum crispiness!) smothered in hummus & hot sauce with a baked garnet yam on the side
I do love my Texas Pete!
I loved the flavors and textures of this meal; it satisfied me perfectly!
This afternoon I’m headed to the gym for some stairmaster action then back here to write a few articles and clean. I need to go to the store at some point, too!
Murphy-Goode Fact of the Day:
Though some people generalize “snake eyes” with bad luck, at Murphy-Goode it simply means extraordinary wine. Snake Eyes is the name of Murphy-Goode’s Zinfandel, characterized by black fruit flavors and silky smooth tannins. Try it with grilled meat, blackened fish and good ol’ baby back ribs.

That looks like a PERFECT lunch to me!
Have a good day!
Jenna:
I found those falafel burgers in the frozen foods section in wholefoods, so picked up a box and am going to try them for lunch tomorrow. They look really good! I need to stop reading your blog – all those foods pics you post make me hungry all the time
You’re going to have such a great time in Madison. The farmer’s market is AMAZING! Be sure to check out their flowers there too… SO pretty!
You should try adding some PB or AB on that yam. LOVE that topping!
Try kayak.com, which basically just searches all of the OTHER search engines for you and does a price comparision! I love it!
I know what you mean about going through food fast, my household consists of only two people but we manage to eat the entire fridge in two days!!
Great eats today:)
You will love the Madison Farmer’s Market, it is amazing! I hail from Wisconsin, so I have been to the market many times. Feel free to email me if you need any restaurant recommendations! L’etoile, ranked Wisconsin’s 2nd best restaurant and written up in countless food magazines, is located right near the capitol (incidentally, in the same exact area as the farmer’s market). The chef is committed to using locally grown, organic ingredients. The prices are a bit steep, but I can assure you that it won’t disappoint!!! L’etoile also operates a wonderful little cafe on the first floor of the building called Cafe Soleil that is open at lunchtime; it is basically a cheaper, abbreviated version of L’etoile’s dinner menu. Definitely worth a try!
Your breakfast looks so good! YUM!

i’ve always found the CHEAPEST flights there
although, sadly it does seem like now is a lost cause for cheap flights…must be that it’s so close to the date AND a holiday weekend
Jenna, your photos have been looking so vividly colorful! I love the texture details in the hummus/hot sauce
I hear ya on the high airfares! We wanted to go on a trip in a few weeks and I couldn’t find cheap airfare to anywhere! I hope something works out so Ryan can go with you to Madison!
Great idea to put hummus on the Sunshine burger!
