No Farm Fresh Veggies? Try Frozen

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.

Happy New Year to all of you from all of us!  The Holiday parties are over, the gloom of winter may be here and the conversation is about losing Holiday pounds.  But, we will start the New Year by being creative and having FUN with food. We will talk about what to do rather than what not to do.

Happy Holidays

From our Harvest Home family to yours.  We recommend turning off your computer and engaging in conversation, singing, and laughing with loved ones instead of texting. Christmas and Chanukah are just around the corner, and Kwanzaa begins the day after!

Happy Holidays

Tips from a “Sneaky” Mom - Getting more veggies in your family’s meals
