Is food costing more than it used to feed your family? The price of food is rising! At Harvest Home, we looked for ways you can save a few dollars, stay healthy, and not give up on taste. Try cutting back on how much meat you use in a dish. Replace meat with tofu or beans.
What makes getting through March to April Spring a bit tricky? The weather: Rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next, spring sun trying to chase away winter gloom. You never know!
If you are looking for better taste (and nutrition), try frozen fruits and veggies. Why? Because they are allowed to fully ripen in sunny fields where they are grown. Then they are picked and the same day, frozen to keep their fresh taste and nutrition.
February is all about hearts and love. It’s American Heart Month and Valentine’s Day. Show your valentines you care about their heart with food that tastes delicious while making their heart stronger and healthier.
