Summer makes it SO easy to eat well. At least for those of us who enjoy fruits and veggies. :) Each week, I hit at least one farmer's market, and I also have an extensive garden of my own. I find it so easy to get a huge variety of produce into each day's diet. My hope is to keep up the variety in order to ensure whole health.
This morning I had frozen strawberries and grapes for breakfast. Lunch will be minestrone LOADED with veggies (summer squash, zucchini, peas, beans) and a cucumber radish salad. Dinner will be a stir fry of zucchini, summer squash, red and green peppers, onions, garlic, and tofu.
I am also in the heart of harvesting - and preserving - our garden for the winter. This week I'll can grape juice (hoping for 7 qts) and salsa, and I'm drying plums as I type.
Hoping you all take advantage of the opportunity at this time of year to eat well. The vitamins, minerals, and fiber you'll get from all this amazing produce cannot be beat. Especially in this part of the country, upper Midwest, where our growing season is really only 3 months. Take advantage of it!
