March-of-March: Dearborn

Tina: Happy Sunday! So we've officially begun March or "March of March" as we're calling it here at The Water House. March is notoriously tough for me--something to do with lack of vacation, wanting spring, and five weekends in one month? To combat this, I've always tried to make March SUPER fun (since high school actually). I try to plan one fun thing each weekend to look forward to.

Today we had a new and fascinating experience! We toured the Arabic markets and bakeries in Dearborn (about 20 minutes away from us in Detroit). Aside from the ridiculously cheap prices, it was so cool to see the growing economy, new foods, and people with so much history and culture! Also, It is nice to see new things (especially when it feels like the sun has been hiding for days).


We also got our food processor! (YESSS) and thanks to our super nice neighbors with their delicious blackberries we were able to have Round1 of spring smoothies for breakfast!
(strawberries, blackberries, ice, honey, oats, and chia seeds!)






Also...not trying to brag BUT we got all of this incredible
                             produce for only $34? 

8 avocados
2 heads of broccoli
2 heads of cauliflower
2 bunches of parsley
2 bunches of cilantro
6 peppers
12 vine ripe tomatoes
2 bags of spinach
10 lemons
3 bags of pita (fresh baked!)
1 bag of grapefruit (my favorite!)
olive oil
3 bunches of bananas
2 bags of apples
5 boxes of strawberries!

Needless to say if ANY of you want some produce, we can definitely make it happen :)
