August Nutrition -Too Hot to Cook?

Too hot to cook? Here are some recipes that will keep you cool in the extreme heat of August. Eating cold fruit and chilled veggies (cucumbers and watermelon are excellent) can also refresh you on a hot day and count as part of your water intake.

Studies have shown that herbs and spices have properties that can help prevent disease. For example: cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar. If you're not sure how to pair herbs and spices with food, this guide will help.

Do you like to can or would you like to learn how? It's a great way to preserve the fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden or local farmers market. And you'll really enjoy your home canned goods in the middle of winter.
