Dinner: Mint Green Pea Ravioli with Greek yogurt alfredo sauce.

So how did I score that fabulous ravioli and make an amazing Farmers Market alfredo sauce to go with it? Well, I hustled over to the Durham Farmers’ Market after work (it’s open from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays). And I saw a woman standing behind a folding table with a small sign advertising Ravioli for $7.50. My stomach ached for some pasta, so I snatched up the locally made pasta. She said it was her first time at the Market and that she planned to be back on Saturday. I think there were about 10 Raviolis inside the package. The price seemed a little steep, but I’m told by my best friend that pinching raviolis is hard work, so maybe that’s why.

As for the Greek yogurt alfredo sauce, that was a concoction I mixed up out of desperation. I bought this Greek-style yogurt from Chapel Hill Creamery on Saturday and I wasn’t that fond of it. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, just Greek yogurt really isn’t my thing. But then I had an idea, my recipe follows.

* Heat several spoonfuls of Greek yogurt (however much you plan on eating in one setting) over low heat.

* Add  ground Parmesan cheese (I had some left over from before my project, so I tossed it in, but that’s the only non-Farmers’ Market cheese I’ve had so far) and Raw Milk Hickory Grove cheese from Chapel Hill Creamery.

* Stir slowly until cheese melts. Enjoy.

Breakfast: Watermelon, half of an oatmeal raisin cookie from Durham Farmers’ Market and one small coffee (sorry, but I indulged, don’t hate me).

Lunch: Grass-fed beef burger topped with Chapel Hill Creamery Cheese. Cucumber, Tomato and Basil Salad.

Snack: Watermelon.

Dinner: Ginny Hash (see recipe). Corn on the cob.

Breakfast: farm fresh bacon, egg over medium and bakery bread. Plum.

Lunch: Bacon, Tomato and Cheese sandwich.

Dinner: Grass-fed beef tacos with cheese, yogurt, tomatoes, banana peppers? (not sure what kind of pepper this is, looks like a banana pepper, but it’s sweet and not spicy).

Dessert: Oatmeal raisin cookie from Durham Farmers’ Market.

Breakfast: Nothing. I slept until noon, so I didn’t need breakfast.

Lunch: Grass-fed beef burger on white bakery bread.

Dinner: White bakery bread layered with crumbled ground chuck, homemade pasta sauce and mozzarella from Chapel Hill Creamery.
