The Fresher the Better!

Now that Spring has finally arrived and Summer is upon us, it's time to start thinking about where you will buy the best produce this Summer. Our office, Premier Life Chiropractic, has begun being a drop off site for a local csa (farmofplenty.com) so we will be receiving a weekly delivery of fresh, organic veggies at a minimal cost! Also, throughout the community, there are lots of Farmer's Markets (St. Paul Farmer's Market, Eagan Marketfest-just to name a few good ones). Last year, I went weekly and got lots of tasty treats including fresh, organic, local fruits and vegetables and raw, organic honey-mmm! My daughter LOVED going to the Farmer's Markets with me, she would ask almost every day if it was 'Market day'! Also, we spent lots of time at the orchards in the area (raspberries, strawberries, apples, and squash of all sorts), which makes it a family event! I encourage you to buy the fresh and local produce whenever possible! It's healthier and fresher, and sooooooo tasty!

Grilled Veggies

Sorry it's been so long, I 've been repeating a lot of recipes lately, but now that Summer is almost here it's time for some new favorites!

This isn't something new, but I made it last night for the first time in a while and it was a fresh, tasty treat!

1 Tbsp. Olive/Coconut Oil
Asparagus (snapped)
Carrots (thinly sliced)
Green Beans (snap ends off)
Lots of Sea Salt
Ground Pepper

Toss veggies into the oil, top with Sea Salt and Ground Pepper. Grill the veggies until slightly crispy and enjoy! We had these with bunless grass-fed hamburgers, and they were amazing! Next time, I might also add in some mushrooms to the mix (maybe portabello)!
