Eating Healthy- Veggies are Free


Vegetables-- Eat at least 3 helpings per day or as many as you can. During the summer harvests utilize those great gardens. Find out who has one and see if you can pick anything they have. As of Friday the Vawdrey garden is going to be open for business, since Lowell & LuVera are touring in Scandinavia for 17 days. You can bet we will be eating zuchinni, corn,tomatoes and peppers 24/7 per their invitation. That's right breakfast, lunch & dinner. Muffins, casserole, salsa, stuffed, steamed, grilled and so on. Anyone wanting some let me know & I will get extra for you.

Dark greens are the best, zucchini, green beans, peas, broccoli, peppers, lettuce and spinach. When they are on sale at the stores or a farmers market, buy and eat them every day. (Broccoli @ $.50-75 pr lb., peppers 3/00, lettuce/spinach $1. are good prices) Out of season watch for frozen food sales. (16oz up to $1.)

If you are dieting, the Weight Watchers diet says most veggies are free. That would be no points which includes all green ones. You may eat 10 baby carrots before they count. Corn is out. Eat up.
