Let us Celebrate!

It’s Spring and Cinco de Mayo!  A perfect combination of celebrations.  Cinco de Mayo is a celebration created by Mexicans living in America in the late 1800s. Celebrated in America, but not much south of the border, it is in memory of the victory of a small Mexican army over a 3 times as large French colonial force.

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.
