Yesterday was mother's day and also the first one I've spent away from my beloved youngins, so my husband got the privilege of letting me do whatever I wanted and dragging him with me.  : )

I chose to check out the Newport Beach Farmer's Market and also eat at a restaurant I've been reading about called True Food Kitchen.  I thought I would do a little review of both experience to share with my Southern California audience, so I'm gonna start with the farmers!

It's easy to find parking in the parking deck right next to the market and with a validated ticket, FREE.  There weren't very many vendors, but there was a wide variety.  We got some delicious smoothies, fresh organic vegetables, salsa, honey and all kinds of apple goodies.

There was a vendor selling meat, some selling hummus and another organic coffee.

They are having a "Spring Celebration Event" this Sunday where they will have live music and cooking demonstrations.  If you live nearby, it's worth the stroll through this market.  The first step to change is by supporting our local farmers.
