Berry Good Fruit
You can tell it’s summer because of all the fruit in store(s). Of all the fruits available, I have to say that berries are my favorite. I’ve been known to enjoy strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and even raspberries at every meal.
From delicious fruit smoothies, to fruit salads and snacks, to berries cut up on salads and fish, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the fruits of summer for months to come. Be sure to check out when it’s best to buy organic, too.

Chilled Strawberry Mint Soup
Spinach Salad with Strawberries
Zabaglione with Fresh Berries
Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
Enjoy!

Oh I just love summer fruit also! I got so excited the other day in the store when I saw that peaches were available — so excited that I sqeezed a little too hard when checking their firmness and squished one in my hand!
