No Farm Fresh Veggies? Try Frozen

Have you noticed that in the winter, fresh fruits and vegetables often look limp or wilted?  If you are looking for better taste and nutrition, try frozen fruits and veggies.  Why? Because they are allowed to fully ripen in sunny fields where they are grown.

Cool Meals for HOT days - “Salads” that Satisfy

On hot, steamy days, no one wants to be near a hot kitchen, prepare salads instead. Make a big refreshing bowl loaded with vegetables, leafy greens, some fruit and crunchy nuts. To make your salad a complete meal, add chickpeas or black beans, some pasta or rice, and even a little extra protein like eggs, tuna or left-over meat.
