I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Krista for one of the best BAoK ever! She saw my post noting that I couldn't find canned pumpkin in my area and she sent me TWO cans, an adorable card, and a bundle of fun teas:
Thank you so much Krista! After work today, I headed to the Daniel Island farmers market with Lindsay. We got some coffee and then hit up all the local food stands:
We also got a sample of homemade pickles with salsa on top:
I wanted one of everything! But I came home with purple potatoes, amazing carrots, blackberries, Brussels sprouts and grass fed beef (for the man):
It was also just a lot of fun to walk around in the heat and chat with Lindsay.
I ran home to take care of Frank and then headed out to teach class. After cleaning myself up and making dinner, I got started on a bread creation that I thought up while at work today ;)
Multi Grain Bread (Vegan or Not)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup flax seed meal
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unbleached AP flour
- 1 cup oats
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 2/3 cups milk (regular, soy, almond, whatever you’ve got)
- ½ cup molasses or honey
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine.
- Spray a loaf pan and pour in batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes- 1 hour.
- Let loaf cool completely before slicing.
The bread turned out pretty nice! Its (obviously) a dark bread with an interesting combination of textures and flavors and is just slightly sweet.
I'm off to work. Afterwards, I am food shoping for the week and picking Josh up from the airport (hes been at a work trip allll week)- can't wait to see him!

Yay for the farmer's market finds! Can't wait to see how Josh likes the grass fed beef... we think it tastes "beefier" but we love it! Hope you are having a lovely week girl :) XOXO
I'm stuck in this rut where I think I have to own a bread maker to make bread. Great recipe--I'll have to try it out!
That is so sweet of Krista! I stockpiled pumpkin last fall but haven’t tried to find it in the stores recently. I need to check that out because I won’t know WHAT to do if I can’t make all things pumpkin!
Everything from the farmer’s market looks so tasty and fresh! The one close to me opens in a few weeks – can’t wait. And that bread looks deeeeelicious!
Enjoy your night with Josh and the Frankster! :-)
Hiya! I've never made it out to the DI farmers market. We are members of the Ambrose Farms CSA so we're pretty spoiled with an insane amount of produce. Anyways, we need to get together sometime!
What a nice BAoK gift... I just found ONE can of pumpkin the other day and was pretty excited.
I need to get to the farmers market soon! That produce is gorgeous.

I haven't been able to find pumpkin puree either. Butternut squash puree works perfectly as a substitute, though.
That bread and those Brussel Sprouts look fantastic!

Your Farmers' Market looks awesome already! I just took my first trip out to ours this morning :)
That bread sounds amazing.
Have a good weekend, sweetie!
Looks like wonderful farmer's market finds! And that bread looks awesome.
You know, I've never been to a farmers market. I need to go seek one out. It looks so much fun.
i wish we had good farmers markets around here...ours suck unless you go into boston.
this weekend i bought an iphone, so i am sitting out in the sun and learning alllllll about it. there is so much to learn. unreal, but fun too.
farmers markets are like playgrounds for food lovers! how fun, you brought home some lovely goods!
hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
Your bread sounds so tasty with the flax meal in it! I love visiting farmer's markets - it looks like you had such a fun visit :)
I love farmers markets, your bread looks yummy even cake like :)
That mulitgrain bread looks amazing!! I love finding bread recipes that don't require yeast (something I don't usually have on hand). Thanks for posting it -- I just might have to give it a try! :)
Erica, your bread came out beautifully!! Looks so delicious-- love that you invented a bread recipe. I love making homemade bread but have learned that it's more of an art than a science:))) XOXO
nothing beats a farmers market!! brussel sprouts look really good!
amazing looking bread- I love the texture
I have been looking for a simple multigrain bread recipe! Yours looks like it fits the bill. With a little bit of melty butter...mmmmm. Although that would ruin the vegan-ness.
walking around farmers' markets and looking at all the fresh, beautiful, local foods is one of my favorite things in the world!
Vegan multi grain bread!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! I am making this asap!!!! And I am also following your blog from now, so glad I found it!!!
the bread recipe looks great! i'm usually intimidated by baking, but that looks do-able.
I hear you saying that I should hit the farmers market with the child.
and not wait until the husband is finally around to watch her while I go...
