As we
continue in
this great time of year for farmers markets, vegetable gardens, there are still
many delicious foods that we associate with the sunny days of summer: sweet
blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries; succulent plums,
apricots, peaches, and nectarines; deep red Bing or bright yellow Rainier
cherries; flavorful red and black grapes, velvety mangoes and kiwi; and juicy
watermelons. And there's so much more: sweet yellow or red onions, pungent
garlic, dark leafy greens and lettuces, red tomatoes, green zucchini squash,
and bright yellow crookneck squash.
Like many of my clients at the end of a work-day, last night
I was too tired to cook, but wanted something nourishing for dinner. I prepared a Indian Dinner in about 20
minutes that was GREAT and very satisfying!
It's a great time of year to "develop a better relationship
with Food". To seek fresh, local
and sustainable foods such as produce and meats at the farmers markets, your
local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farm or local natural foods
store. If you have not made the
change to local or regional foods, make a goal to shop at one of these venues
in the next 7 days and change your life forever. You will feel better, have more energy and start to create
the foundation to vital health.
