“Summer is one of the best times of year to enjoy veggies—from grabbing fresh ears of corn at your favorite road-side stand to visiting the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning for crisp cucumbers and crunchy carrots. Not to mention the many great veggie moments that happen in the summer—snapping green beans on the back porch or firing up the grill to char up peppers, mushrooms and more!“
I have such fond memories here at my house of picking vegetables all summer long with my Grandparents, back when I was a child and they had a large garden. Nowadays our property is much smaller & my children and I get most of our veggies at a local stand all throughout the summer & into the late fall. I always try to buy local and fresh if I can. It really makes all the difference.
Of course when it comes to preparing veggies I discovered my boys can be easily amused by helping me make muffins. In the end they had fun & they get to eat something healthy and nutritious while being none the wiser. As far as myself goes my favorite way to eat a muffin is with a bit of margarine. With 70% less saturated fat and 30% fewer calories than butter, country crock is a great way to add a bit of flavor while keeping it healthy.
