Grilling isn't just for meat. It makes veggies mouth-wateringly irresistible! Grab zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, corn on the cob, peppers, onions, mushrooms and even leafy greens at a Harvest Home Farmer's Market.

COOL DOWN WITH A SPLASH OF FLAVOR

Hot! Humid! Sweaty days making you feel a bit like a fading flower? To stay cool and perky in the summer, we need a lot of extra fluids so you feel less like a dropping flower. How much? Depends on your age and what you are doing. Everyone's different. We are supposed to drink about 10 ½ cups of liquid a day....men need more and women need a bit less. AHH, you may be thinking: "That's a lot to drink!!" At Harvest Home, we found a lot of delicious, easy ways to help you get the liquids you need.
