Summer Begins with Strawberries. Top Story - June 2022.
Our summer food season revolves around the desire to fill our shelves with fresh summer produce to use in the dreary days of winter. It might also be pride and ego that makes us think that we can preserve summer better than any factory. We don’t have to count the bugs in our foods since we wash more than 3 times when prepping food (unless beets - then maybe 5 times). There is also the gratification of knowing that we have taken food at its best and put it up to enjoy later. We love having the jars lined up on the shelves at the end of September. We are surrounded by farms here in Central PA and some are minimal or no spray - and organic. Some aren't. We buy from both, but still the produce is at the height of its perfection. We love it.

Foods that are beneficial to cardiovascular health
As people's lifespans lengthen and more people live into their 80s and 90s, cognitive decline becomes a major worry. Cognitive decline has been linked to a variety of diseases, and the risk of mental decline has been linked to a variety of lifestyle variables, including poor food, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Organic food
Organic food is an ongoing debate that I've had with practically every "clean eater" I've ever met. Almost everyone who attempts to eat healthy makes the decision to become organic at some point. It's better for the environment, and removing all those harmful chemicals must be beneficial for your health.

Sippin Sunshine
The thickness of the air foreshadows a sticky hot girl summer on this humid Sunday in Ohio. Ominous gray clouds tease umbrella-less pedestrians as they scurry from store to store. Some people even preemptively ducking under awnings anticipating the start of the rain show. Having lived in Columbus for the past 12 years and Ohio practically my whole life, you begin to gain your own appreciation for the rain. Especially in the summertime. Like the smell of morning dew on freshly cut grass, the rain often carries a distinct scent of renewal. A gentle reminder to take pause, reflect and be present.

Summer Blues
If there was ever a time during which I was not beholden to an almost fanatical love of blueberries, that time lies outside the reaches of my memory. As a child, this phenomenal adoration was a thing of pure instinct — good taste equals good — and, funnily enough, my son seems to have inherited it. Little do we know, in our youth, of the history, the majesty and the power of the blueberry. But the more I learn, the more it all makes sense. From my humbled, primitive and singular point of view within the vastness of the universe, these minuscule, innocuous fruits are the ultimate food, Summer or no.

Cold Cucumbers beat the Summer Heat
Growing up, I always loved a summer side dish I thought my mother had created. She would slice up cold cucumbers into a large bowl, adding sour cream and salt. I loved mine served with extra salt and the moisture of the cucumbers made the sour cream a thin dressing. Cold, crisp, crunchy, and refreshing on a hot summer afternoon. It was one of her sides she would make in large bowls, along with her potato salad and macaroni salad, to bring to family reunions, barbecues, and parties.
