Healthy Diet Habit Tip of the Day 
or a Recipe of the Day

The month of June is the National Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Month.  One of Kerry's Produce Tips is to Choose Menu Items that are Full of Vegetables: There are so many lunch and dinner choices that are loaded with vegetables. Try to acquire a taste for stir fries. They are simple to prepare and once you have the basic idea down, you can vary your meat choice and choices of veggies. Buy a huge variety of veggies and choose 3 different ideas for a different stir fry daily. Pair them with different herbs and meats.

The trick is to avoid overcooking any of the veggies, because crunchy is what you want. Cook the veggies separately. Rather than using oil, it’s easy to stir fry by adding a bit of water. Keep adding more water to avoid burning! This is a quick meal that is much faster than fast food!

Season

June 9th falls within the Spring Season in the Northern Hemisphere.

Spring is one of the four seasons. It follows the Winter Season, and is before the Summer Season. The weather warms up from the dreary cold, rainy and snowy weather, and you can spend more time outside.

The land comes alive in Spring, with grass turning green and early flowers like daffodils, tulips and California poppy's and other wildflowers bringing beauty back into your life!
