The Last Farmers Market Post in 2017 for EWB

This is EWB’s last Farmers Market post for 2017. Doesn’t seem possible that August is almost over. We have tried to highlight some of the great Farmers Markets in WNY as well as all the positive reasons to visit these markets while at home or traveling.

EWB was at the Colorado Springs Farmers Market last week and throughly enjoyed the roasted green chili peppers that were sampled. The nuts, snacks and wines were also delightful.

We learned that as in NYS, in Colorado, SNAP EBT cards can be doubled when used to buy fruits and veggies. So $10 will provide $20 worth of yummy fruits and veggies when using your SNAP EBT cards.

If you know of a Farmers Market that is doing something very unique or different please let us know. We want to share all the great ideas and local resources so everyone can eat healthier and be happier. Remember most of the Farmers Markets actually end in October so make sure and keep supporting them into the fall. EAT WELL BUFFALO.

    One of my favorite tools is a handheld spiralizer! It’s muscle powered, cheap (under $10), doesn’t take up much space and works perfectly every time. I will use the zoodles to create a Lemony Garlic Zucchini and Shrimp dish and serve it with a side salad. Easy, doesn’t cost much and very delish and filling. Love this dish

    What does plant-based protein have that animal protein does not? FIBER! Foods that contain fiber can prevent or relieve constipation. Fiber can also help you maintain a healthy weight, lower your risk of diabetes, some types of cancer and heart disease. So celebrate this  #meatlessmonday  (EWB loves your posts) by enjoying a black bean burger or an avocado chickpea pasta dish. Your gut will thank you♥️♥️  #meatlessmonday   #fiber   #healthyliving   #bestlife   #buffalony   #wellness   #healthylife

    It makes sense to check the price for the organic and conventional food you are purchasing. My experience has been often they are the same price or a small difference. Here are Goya red kidney beans I’m buying for a red bean and brown rice dish. Same price for the exact same size can. It makes sense if organic is affordable and accessible to chose that option for less pesticides, chemicals and they are better for the environment.

    Thanks to  #meatlessmonday  for listing some of the benefits of enjoying eating plant-based on Mondays. What's your favorite meatless meal? Bean Burritos? Black bean Burgers? Or maybe Mushroom Lentil Loaf? We'd love to hear from you!  #meatlessmonday   #eatwellbuffalo   #plantbased   #bestlife   #healthy   #beans
