Very Berry Smoothie - Made by Ty

This is what was left of the berry smoothie that my daughter made.  It was so good, I forgot to take a pic!!!

She used a variety of berries, plain yogurt, water and honey! You can't get much healthier than that!! :-)

Good stuff!!!

Veggies

I went to the store to get the ingredients to make the guacamole, and wound up looking at everything else.  There are my wonderful avocados right in the middle.

I'll admit, a tomato isn't a veggie, it's technically a fruit, but I think we all kind of think of it as a veggie.

Don't they look wonderful?? :-))

Tomatoes - By Janice

These little beauties came from my sister's garden!! She has had an impressive garden this year, and I got to enjoy these wonderful tomatoes!! Even though the stems aren't green in this photo (because they've been on my counter for a while), they were still delicious!!!

It's good to know someone with a garden!!!

Fresh Fruit

I have a favorite fruit stand that I go to up towards Dixon, CA.  They have it all, fresh fruit, veggies, seasonings, nuts and even candy!!  The prices are always good and I can always find exactly what I'm looking for.

One thing I've realized is that because the fruit is fresh, you don't get all the preservatives you get in the grocery store fruits and veggies.  You really have to use everything you get pretty quickly or it will start decomposing at a faster rate than the grocery store fruits and veggies.

I learned that the hard way, by having to through out stuff because I assumed it would last longer than it did.

I love fresh fruits and veggies, they are the best!! I'm eyeing those bananas, because it will take a little bit before I can eat them.

Here I have some apples, nectarines, and green bananas.  I have cherries, but they aren't in the pic because they are hanging out in the fridge.  I like my cherries cold for some reason.
