Beans Beans the Magical Fruit

This morning was an early wake up call.  I had a quick breakfast before heading up to the farm.  This would be my new obsession:

Now, I have always loved almond butter.  However, Justin’s Maple Almond Butter takes things to a whole new level.  I spread some of this on top of  Nashoba Brook Bakery’s Harvest bread.  It is a little local bakery and they make the best bread.  Combined with coffee and blueberries for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

The farm was pretty busy today.  We harvested the whole time.  Starting off with Swiss Chard and eight hours later ending with those darn beans!  I love my beans, but I sure is heck have trouble filling my buckets fast enough.  By the time we got to the beans my back and hamstrings were pretty numb so pain wasn’t a problem, I just didn’t feel like bending over anymore. On top of that, the rows of beans seemed to never end. Every time I thought I had made a lot of progress, I would stand up straight for a moment to take a look towards the end of the row, and it still seemed to be a million miles away.  Beans…..I just can’t seem to catch a break.  I  wish you weren’t so tasty because then I truly could hate you.  However, hard work at the farm really does pay off.  Lunch was this tasty creation:

This would be a whole wheat pita smothered with Hummus (from Ragab) tomatoes, basil, peas, olive oil and balsamic drizzle.  With a side of cherry tomatoes and a zucchini.  Food like this  puts a smile on my face.

Off to stuff some peppers for dinner. I will let you know how they turn out.  If they are good, I well post the recipe!!!
