The line up of vendors at the brand new Wolseley Farmer’s Market will change from day to day/week to week, making it a lovely way to shake up your Tuesday and Thursday evenings =-) Just the Goods will be participating for sure! I’m waiting to find out what my schedule is for the months ahead, so while I’ll certainly share details as soon as I know them, I imagine you’ll wanna check this out, with or with out JTG there ;-) Ha ha!

Wolseley Farmers’ Market

I made raw tacos for dinner tonight, they were so yummy. The salsa and the walnut ‘meat’ rule. One of my favorite recipes so far :)


Walnut Taco Mix Ingredients: 1 cup raw walnuts 1 Tbsp. nama shoyu (raw, unpasteurized soy sauce) 1/8 tsp. ground chipotle pepper (or more if you like it spicy!) 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil Directions: 1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse just to mix. Don’t over-blend, or you will end up with walnut butter!
Cashew “Sour Cream”  Ingredients:  ½ cup raw cashews juice of ½ lemon 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar 5 Tbsp. water (approx.) Directions: 1. Put all ingredients except water in a high speed blender or food processor and blend, adding water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If you want a thick cream, use less water, for a thinner sauce, use more. (You will not achieve a perfectly smooth sauce with a food processor, but it is still delicious!)
Raw Salsa Ingredients: 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes ½ red bell pepper, chopped fine ½ orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped fine ½ red onion or 4 green onions, minced ¼ cup chopped cilantro ½ clove garlic, minced juice of ½ lime 1 tsp. raw honey  1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil pinch of sea salt Directions: 1. Whisk the garlic, lime juice, honey, olive oil and sea salt in the bottom of a bowl and set aside. 2. Cut up the veggies into rather small pieces, chop the cilantro and add everything to the dressing bowl. Fold to combine and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Other Raw Taco elements: ripe avocados (about ½ per person) cabbage, collard, kale, romaine, or spinach leaves limes for squeezing extra cilantro for sprinkling

New Products

Just the Goods is pleased to introduce two new products, both created due to popular request:

First, a smooth, silky talc-free and gluten-free body powder designed to add a light dusting of all natural fragrance while controlling moisture. Be confident knowing that Just the Goods never uses artificial fragrance, which is often linked to numerous health concerns, including allergies.

This product is available in a range of scents from essential oils including bergamot, blood orange, eucalyptus, geranium bourbon, lavender, lemongrass, mandarin, muhuhu [smells like sandalwood!], patchouli (dark), pink grapefruit, rose, rosewood, tuberose, vetiver, ylang ylang and more. Of course, unscented body powder is also available, which is best suited for baby care.

This product is availble in a re-usable tin with or without a handmade powder puff, in a plastic shaker bottle, or in a handy refill format. Find out more here.

* * *

Next, Just the Goods is now finally offering facial mosturizing lotion for acne prone skin. It’s the same wonderfully nuturitive, non-greasy and quickly absorbing base with the addition of tea tree oil to help fight bacteria and keep pores clear. Find out more here.
