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.
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.
Bunnies love Carrots, and there’s a reason for that. Carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and make a delicious dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth.
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.
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.
Tired of all the confusing do’s and don’ts of healthy eating? Us too. At Harvest Home, we look for easy ways to eat healthy food that’s also tasty. Like most of you, we’re busy, so let’s keep it simple.
Think of what you eat in a day or even a week. Half of what you eat should be fruits and veggies…more veggies than fruits.
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.
Three cheers for colorful bundles of nutrition that add crunchy taste to your meals while they perk up your body & keep it running smoothly.
