Suddenly it’s Summer! After a long, beautiful spring, who expected it to become so hot so fast? And who wants to cook over a hot stove when the temperature is 100°? At Harvest Home, we discovered a great summer meal maker: Pasta salad.
If managing your food budget seems harder these days, Harvest Home has a trick for you: Cooking with beans. Beans? YES, deliciously easy way to balance your BUDGET while improving your diet! Beans can make a meal or stretch the meat in a dish without changing the taste.
Finally, there is sunshine in the morning instead of winter gloom! In a hurry to enjoy the day? Wait! Take a few minutes for a quick breakfast. A quick breakfast jump-starts you and powers you through the day ahead.
Bunnies like carrots! Carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and make a delicious dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth. Our Carrot Cake (recipe below) includes carrots (of course), applesauce, eggs, and walnuts, the perfect combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats like Omega-3. It’ll get you hopping with health like that Bunny!
Sweet juicy strawberries, crunchy radishes, crispy lettuce and kale, velvety spinach, summer squash, tender asparagus, succulent cherry tomatoes and plump peas bursting from their pods. Picked at peak freshness and delivered directly to our markets by the farmers who grow them, ripened in sunny fields in the tri-state area. Super fresh Local produce tastes so much BETTER! Plus, direct from farm-to-market produce has more nutrition and costs LESS!
Some liquids actually help you stay cooler than others. Soda and packaged juices are loaded with sugar that your body does not need. Apple juice has as much sugar as a regular coke! Your body has to generate heat to use that sugar. The best thing to drink to stay cool is lots of plain water or your favorite tea.
