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.

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.

Power into Spring

Our body's cleaning tool is FIBER! Fiber acts as a "broom," naturally sweeping through our bodies and clearing out "muck" like bad cholesterol (LDL) and fatty deposits that make you sluggish. Research shows that adding 5g - 10g of soluble fiber to your diet per day will reduce LDL cholesterol.

Squash helps your body run smoothly. It's especially good if you are diabetic because it's packed with B-complex vitamins and fiber with pectin - both essential elements in regulating blood sugar. Squash also contains vitamin A which is great for eye and lung health; it helps strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
