Chef E's Farmers Market Favorites: What to Ask and Why It Matters

Hey friends — Chef E here. You already know I’m a big believer in clean, vibrant food that comes from the earth and fuels your body with the good stuff. And there’s no better place to find that than your local farmers market. It’s not just about stocking up on juicy tomatoes and pasture-raised eggs (though yes, please!) — it’s about knowing your food and who grows it. And it’s easier than you think to make smart choices when you’re face-to-face with your farmer.

Your Body Was Designed to Heal—Feed It Like It Matters

Hey friends, Chef E here 👩‍🍳 Let me remind you of something that should be shouted from the mountaintops: Your body was designed to heal. Not in some vague, woo-woo way—but in a real, biological, breathtakingly brilliant way. - Your skin cells regenerate every 28 days - Your red blood cells turn over in about 120 days - Your gut lining restores in 2–3 weeks - And your brain? It can build new neural pathways in just days. In other words, your body is constantly rebuilding. Constantly renewing. Constantly giving you a fresh chance to support healing. And the question becomes: What are you rebuilding it with? If your body is made new from the raw materials you give it every single day… then let’s give it the good stuff—the kind that tastes amazing and fuels real transformation.
