Hungry and in a Hurry? Try Smoothies

Smoothies are an easy way to get a meal on the run. A fast tasty snack loaded with vitamins, minerals, and protein. This is an easy way to “eat” those greens that you may not like but that are good for you.

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.

Power into Spring

We are approaching the March weather, which means rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next and spring sun trying to chase away the winter gloom. You never know! That’s why we’re rooting (Hay Ray!) for those root veggies that give us what we need to get through the weather craziness.

KEEPING NEW YEAR PROMISES: Small Steps Get Big Results

Big things always start small...and grow!  Before you could run, you learned to take small steps first. It's the same with New Year's promises like "eating healthier" or "losing a few pounds". You just have to get started. And NOW is the perfect time.  Forget "dieting."  Try one small step a week.  Make little changes to what you eat.  Choose one thing and just do it. In a week or two, add another change... and WOW! You're on your way to a healthier you.
