To market, to market to buy some fresh…sprouts

There’s something about seeing the word ‘market’ written on a placard that is irresistible.  When I discovered that Toronto Sprouts was holding a winter market this past weekend, I knew I had to go.

Not everything excited me, but I was really only there to get some locally grown sprouts (there were some bizarre fashion and clothing stalls and they seemed to be run by a man who sat in a chair while his young, female daughter ran her fingers through his hair. For me, the scene was an instant turn-off).   Anyway,  I came away with a bag of sunflower sprouts, bean mix, ground flax seed and some raw food recipes.  I’m not sure how I feel about raw food.  It’s my opinion (for Ontarians, at least), that raw food is appealing in the humidity of the summer heat, but not at all appetizing in winter. 

In other news, I think I may finally be over my caffeine withdrawal.  Today is the first day I woke up without a headache! The bad news is that I’ve noticed a few hormonally-charged cravings for something salty.  In the past, I tended to indulge my cravings because I figured that if I had a craving, I probably had some dietary deficit.  I’m not so sure this is the case.  I would really appreciate some suggestions–both about the cravings and/or a healthy (yet salty) treat!
