This week’s farmers market haul
I prepped everything on Sunday to eat throughout the week. Some meals we had:
Salmon with leftover veggies from last week
Miso cod with asparagus and leftover rice
Chicken thighs with delicata squash and turmeric cauliflower
Spinach scrambled eggs with parmesan
Leafy green salad with radish, cucumber, avocado, and leftover chicken
Papaya boat
Cut a papaya in half and scoop out the seeds. Squeeze lime juice and honey, and add your favorites - greek yogurt, granola, passionfruit, more honey and lime. Matt likes his with peanut butter!
Miso black cod
Black cod has been in season at my farmer’s market. Make a quick marinade with miso, soy sauce, sugar, and a little bit of rice vinegar. Dilute with water until it has a pasty consistency. Marinate the cod for 1-2 days. Bake at 425 with a sheet pan of asparagus for 15 minutes or just until done. Serve with rice!
Pesto pasta and side salad
My favorite brand of pesto is “Cappellino”, local to SF. I made a side salad with all the lettuce I bought at the farmers market. My go-to dressing is lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, honey, salt and pepper.
Artichokes
Trim the artichokes and cut the stems. Boil water with a squeeze of lemon or lime and salt. Boil the artichokes for 15-25 mins depending on their size. Take out the lemon and squeeze into a bowl, mixing with mayonnaise to create a dip. Cut the artichokes in half, remove the choke, and enjoy!

There’s something so peaceful about the way you move through a week—simple meals, fresh produce, and thoughtful routines. The papaya boat idea is pure sunshine, and your miso cod has officially made it to my “must-try” list. Also love how intentional everything feels, even down to your farmers market prep. Thanks for bringing this series back—it’s like a calm breath in my inbox. 🙏
