Sunday Trip to Pick Apples & Nectarines

So most of you know that I am not much of a cook...I can bake with the best of them, but when it comes to cooking....not so much!!  I leave that part to my wonderful hubby :)

Anyway this morning we were watching one of my favorite cooking shows Pioneer Woman and lets just say she made an amazing looking Pasta Salad that even Lizzie said she would eat.  Wade is headed home after a weekend golf touney and is planning on grilling steaks...so perfect I would show him I actually did something in the kitchen besides bake.   Lets just say it is amazing!!!

We started the weekend off with a little picnic and playtime in the park....




Followed by a whole rest of the day of laziness....man it has been awhile with nothing to do


Sunday morning Lizzie looked at me and said mom can we please do something....ok there is a darling little farmers market down the street from me and they just posted U Pick Nectarines and Apples.  We were there!!


Bella loved the fact that she had her own bag to fill up...she kept repeating "My Bag, My Bag"



Heading towards the nectarine trees...I have never picked anything but apples so I was excited to get some VERY fresh of my most favorite fruit.


Of course Bells was too excited about her bag to look at me for any quick pics....



Moving on to Apples...she was excited b/c these were low enough that she could grab her own!






And what  Bella was most excited about...her own container of Tomatoes..or MATOS as Bella calls them. 
Ready to go straight into the Pasta Salad for tonights dinner.
Can't wait to use all those nectarines once they have softened up a bit for a nectarine pie or cobbler.  And we have enough apples to experiment with some new cupcake recipes, icing, pies, etc.    Yummy...good thing I am preggo still b/c I will be partaking in eating all of them!!!


Such a great Sunday!!
