On Saturday I stopped by the Regional Market in Syracuse to browse the selection of fresh, local fruits and vegetables. It was amazing to see the mounds of produce, and it was also amazing to see the crowds of people. I went at around 10am, and it was packed, and so crowded it was hard to walk. Clearly many people in the community like the fresh products available.
The best thing this time of year is all the fruit. I can grow some vegetables in my garden, but fruit is a lot harder to grow. This week for fruit we bought peaches, blueberries and sweet cherries. One of my children’s favorite things to do with fruit is make fruit smoothies. So when we got home we turned the peaches into our favorite fruit smoothie.

We love smoothies! I mix organic plain yogurt, spinah and any fruit we have on hand in a blender. My toddler loves them!!
One of our healthiest recipes is fruit kabobs on the grill. The whole family loves them. We usually use cut up (or canned) peaches, pineapples, grapes and apples. Basically, we’ve used most fruits and they all taste wonderful.
Thanks so much.

We LOVE stuffed peppers, and honestly, nobody can tell that it’s turkey instead of fatty ground beef! This is the base recipe that I use, but I like to spice it up by adding things to the stuffing. Be creative! It’s also easy enough to make more or less based upon your family size. I always tend to do a lot of taste testing while making these too! 🙂

3 Green bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded.
1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes (italian seasoned)
1 lb ground turkey 93% lean
1/3 to 1/2 cup brown rice (uncooked)

I ate this salad at a restaurant and liked it so much, I reproduced it at home. The base is spring mix. Top with feta cheese, dried cranberries, cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and mandarin oranges (or apple slices). Dress with a balsamic vinaigrette. For a heartier salad, add some grilled chicken or fish.
We make our favorite fruit salad. It has apples, raisins, mango, strawberries, and cantaloupe in it.

We love fresh fruit with yogurt and granola! Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, whatever you like is great for this… and super easy!
I like to make a Fresh Summer Vegetable Soup from all the great veggies that are in season.
