Trip to Farmer’s Market at The Grove

grove farmers marketToday we spent a few hours at one of our favorite foodie spots: The Farmer’s Market at The Grove.  This place has so many incredible options for food, it’s hard to pick where you want to eat…which is why we stayed long enough to eat twice.  We began the day with coffee and glazed donuts (still warm) at Bob’s Donuts, an LA institution.

We were tempted to get more, but settled on walking around for a few hours to work up an appetite for something else.  On our way out to The Grove, we passed this gigantic squash — no idea what kind this is but it was huge!

It was a beautiful day, so we spent most of our time walking and reading the paper out in the warm sun.

    All restaurants should have sampler plates like that — it’s so much more fun to try everything! And I’m normally indifferent towards glazed doughnuts….but that thing looks AMAZING.

    I almost never choose to spend my treat calories on a donut – they just don’t do it for me – but at Bob’s they are so incredible it is worth it!
