Keep the Freggies in Plain Sight

I have found that if I keep fresh fruits and veggies attractively displayed in a footed fruit bowl on my center island it does three things at once: A) It looks beautiful, especially with a nice combination of colors & textures 2) Many freggies like tomatoes, oranges, peppers, peaches & plums actually taste better at room temperature vs. refrigerated 3) I ACTUALLY EAT THEM vs. they lay in the bottom of the crisper drawer & get moldy! LOL Frequent, small-quantity purchases ensure freshness.

Using over-ripe veggies and fruits

Sometimes we keep fruits and veggies past their prime. Instead of tossing them, remove any rotted pieces, bag the rest, and freeze them. When you want to add veggies or fruits to cooked dishes, e.g., soup, pasta sauce, add these instead of purchased frozen foods. I keep fruits for use in jello.

Fruits and Vegetables are Key!

Fruits and vegetables (5-a-day of each) will help on your road to wellness!
