Sunflowers, easy to grow…a great start for a garden! Enjoy the seeds in a summer harvest!

We made a simple Indian meal last night. Rice, tomato rasam and a seasoned stir-fry of cauliflower, carrots, onions and green beans with mustard seeds, turmeric, salt, pepper and cilantro.

we love fresh-made salsa on a hot summer day, especially when the vegetables have come from our garden. Have you noticed how delicious and flavorful the tomatoes are that you’ve grown yourself? When you bite into the crisp chip holding the blend of tomatoes, onions and peppers, you mouth bursts with freshness.

In our modern society, it’s easy to forget where our food comes from. Everything is available all year round in the grocery store, though usually in one variety. A trip to the local farmer’s market can be an eye-opening experience for you and your kids and get you one step closer to the source of your foods.
