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.

JUICE WITH JAZZ! Here's Some Ways to Chill on Hot Summer Days

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.
