Staying healthy this past year has not been easy. Eating the right combination of foods can help keep you healthy. The key is more fruits and veggies and less meat and fats. At Harvest Home, we have learned that taste is very important because if it doesn’t taste good, no matter how healthy it is who wants to eat it. Like most of you, we’re busy, so simple and delicious ways to prepare healthy meals is the only way to eat healthy consistently.
Summer heat has arrived, look for food that coincides with the growing season and buy farm fresh veggies from one of our Harvest Home farmers markets.
