Fruit and Veggie of the Month!

Hello! I am back after a short vacation to California.

I just found a great resource to help incorporate a fruit and veggie into your diet each month. On the CDC website, you can click a link that takes you to the Fruit and Veggie of the Month website. This website gives you a list of each month and a showcased fruit and vegetable for that month. It gives you lots of great facts and a recipe for each.

This is a fun way to make sure you get lots of variety and could even get older kids into trying the veggies- you could make it a big deal each month and have the kids help make something incorporating those ingredients.

For July: Nectarines and Garlic- Yum!

There is also a recipe database with many more selections.
