One of my favourite things to do while travelling is visit the local markets - turns out, it is also one of my favourite things to do right here at home in California. Gracie encouraged me to make a visit to the San Mateo Farmers Market last week which I have somehow never been to before. Thank you Gracie, my work week lunches will never be the same! 

Look at the rainbow swiss chard (above) - isn't is gorgeous? 

I am hooked on these beans - they have been sprouted, releasing enzymes which make them healthier and easier to digest. They are absolutely amazing in my quinoa salads at lunch. 

These colours and patterns, its hard to believe they are completely natural. 

There's my running buddy, head-lamp walking, food photographer extraordinaire!
