Four Leafy Greens to Add to Your Meal Plans
There are so many different types of greens available to choose from now. Knowing a little bit more about a few common greens can be helpful for meal prep. Things like the flavor, uses, and storage can be some of this helpful information.
Below you will find four greens that I’ll share a little bit about and a picture (helpful when shopping for these greens). Hopefully, you can start adding a variety of greens to your meal plans.
The Difference Between Prebiotics and Probiotics Simplified
Every human has an entire community of bacterial strains that reside in their gut. The challenge is whether this is a healthy and strong community, or if it has been taken over by a number of “bad” strains.
The Standard American Diet (SAD) of processed food, wide spread antibiotic use, and a number of other reasons has negatively affected the community of bacteria in our guts.
Fire-Roasted Salsa
We are entering the peak of the growing season in Minnesota; my CSA box has had an abundance of produce. Tomatoes are starting to show up in the box, and need to be used! This salsa has the deep flavors of restaurant style salsa, and it is super easy to make.
What To Do With All That Zucchini?
If there is one crop that is super easy to grow and will produce an abundant harvest, it is zucchini. I have been getting one to three zucchinis in my local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box each of the last three weeks.
Zucchinis are a member of the summer squash family. Summer squash are much more delicate and cannot be stored for long periods like winter squash. So that means I need to be creative with all this zucchini.
