It’s Holiday Season!! Even if you’re watching what you eat, this is the time when those good habits seem go out the window. Wait! Home-made cookies can give you the taste treats you want with a bit of healthy goodness and portion control.
By now, you should have received your November SNAP benefits. And Thanksgiving is only days away. Our Harvest Home markets are loaded with fresh fruits and veggies that can give your Thanksgiving festive color, attention-getting taste, and a bit of healthy goodness.
It’s Fall. Time for the amazing varieties of winter squash like white delicata, sweet dumpling, pale yellow butternut, dark green, round acorn, and of course, pumpkin.
The weather is changing to cool and breezy. The air is fresh again, and Harvest Home Farmer’s Markets are filled with vibrant produce, including carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, squash, and ripe tomatoes!
It’s starting to get cooler! Fall is coming: you can use the oven again! Most importantly, the best of summer crops are in our Harvest Home Farmers’ Markets.
It’s SPRING! The world is opening up after the worst year we have ever had. Flowers are blooming. Vaccines are here. Stores are opening. Little by little we are getting our lives back. Time for a small celebration meal with your family, Celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican- American festival that celebrates the victory of a small Mexican army over their conquerors; celebrate getting your vaccine; or the joy of spring.
During winter and chilly weather soup can warm you up in a hurry. No, not a can of soup! Your homemade soup. Soup can fill your home with delicious smells and is very easy to make with the taste you like. It's a simple way to give your family a hardy, healthy meal full of veggies. It's a great way to use up leftovers and can stretch your food dollars. With or without meat, soup is a tasty warming meal on a chilly day.
The Holidays are over. It's a great time to do a little house cleaning. Before you start moaning and groaning, we're not talking about your home, we're talking about your body! Your body needs to be as "clean" as possible so it works well. Eating more fruits & veggies will help you get rid of the "muck" caused by eating too much Holiday food. "Cleaning" your body means eating more delicious fruits & veggies! Easy. Now that's the kind of cleaning we can all get behind!
