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!
Summer berries are arriving just in time to help us celebrate! Juicy red strawberries and plump blueberries are filling up our Harvest Home Farmers' Markets. Yum, yum, yum!
Fireworks! Picnics! Family gatherings! The 4th is our favorite summer holiday.
Happy Mother's Day from Harvest Home! You deserve a celebration (and a Thank You, Mom) for all the meals you make, the laughter you share and the tears you wipe away. What's a celebration without a meal that's a bit special? We thought you'd enjoy a different twist on a breakfast favorite: pancakes.
Start with snacks, those nibbles that sneak on pounds when you are not watching. Turn snacking into energizing. Gradually trade "not-so-good-for-you" snacks for tasty, healthier ones. Gradually.... because change is hard; doing a little bit at a time can mean more success. Try getting rid of one junky snack twice a week; then 3 times a week.
