I needed a handful of things from the store last night so I headed to my Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. I had just picked Scarlet up from preschool and its smaller size makes it easier to get in and out quickly. Of course I couldn’t just stick to my list, so a handful turned into a small cart full. I can always find a few extra things that pique my interest in a market with unique private label offerings like this one.

Summer’s bounty adds extra excitement, with stacks of berries, bins of watermelons ready to burst and mounds of stone fruits, green beans and corn, tempting me to buy more than I could ever use.
