Posted by Lisa MantineoIt's a holiday weekend, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy our fruits and veggies. This week Betsy has picked out some dishes and a drink you can have fun with, while celebrating the Fourth of July. Cool off with a refreshing Blackberry Crush or toss together a Spicy Corn and Peppers side. You can even make a unique Mexican treat: Burritos with Squash and Goat Cheese.
For new listeners: If you're interested in making your meals a little healthier by using more fruits and vegetables, then you might want to sign up for our Fruit and Vegetable Challenge. The goal of the program is to incorporate more produce into your busy schedule. If you want more info on the challenge, read our first post about it.
Don't forget: Keep track of the amount of servings you are eating throughout the week. Simply email us -- everydayfoodradio@yahoo.com on Thursday night with the fruits and vegetables you've consumed and the number of servings per day.
