At The Market

Those fresh weekend market finds... rainbow tomatoes, creamy new potatoes, crisp peppers, tangy sweet coronation grapes, and a brimming mixed fruit box, filled with cherries, grapes, golden plums, peaches, nectarines and apples! 

Again, have a lovely long weekend! - JD  

The Market

Like most weekends we went to the market. Amongst the rainbow tomatoes and nectarines we found some lovely golden plums. I never had a golden plum before. I found the taste to be a bit sweet and tart. A nice combination which I enjoyed.

Hendrickson Bagels

Fresh and hot off the press. I got to meet Ron Hendrickson of Hendrickson Bagels. The conversation was light and full of substance just the bagels. 

Hendrickson Bagels have a booth at the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market and have been doing so for the past 12 years. Their signature bagels come in 15 different varieties.  Which the Cheddar & Jalapeño bagels come highly recommended from a very valued customer. I got to try the Whole Grain mini bagels and they were quite lovely... not at all what I expected from a bagel. It was quite evident that these bagels are anything but ordinary. They have no artificial preservatives and most of the varieties are vegan. Offering low saturated fats and trans fat free, nut free and dairy free, except the ones with cheddar, and also contain no eggs, animal fats or soy protein. 

They also sell Pamela Stadnyk's, Ron's wife, signature cream cheese spreads. There are 8 unique flavours. Her most famous are the Cheddar and Five Peppers and the Saskatoon Berry. 

Hendrickson Bagels do have a Facebook page and are located at 14 - 52 Brentwood Boulevard in Sherwood Park. However if you are at the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market I highly recommend stopping by and picking up a bag or two of these delicious bagels.
