Fresh, healthy foods are an investment in your health as well as your wallet. Before we dive into some of my favorite recipes I want to share just a couple of money saving tips for your eating pleasure:
- The Garden, my passion, on so many fronts. It embodies good health, good stewardship, and good eats! According to USAA: "A National Gardening Association study found that families with gardens spent an average of $70 on supplies and reaped $600 of food a year." Grow Money in Your Backyard That is a wonderful investment! (Want to read more thoughts on the benefits of gardening? The Many Benefits of a Garden)
- When foods are in season that you regularly cook with, take green peppers or onions as an example, buy them in bulk when they are on sale. Chop them up and store them in serving size quantities. During the winter months you can pull them out and cook with them as desired.

This is a pretty informal post that invites response and energy. I used a number of question marks and exclamation points to liven up my prose. I also used bullet points to organize my information. Most importantly, I was trying to address the reader, so I used the word "you" repeatedly. To continue to reinforce all the important traits of in-season eating I used commas to separate all the adjectives I wanted to use regarding eating fresh and healthy.
