ramblings

Our menus that come out later this week will include some wraps. We have discovered some delicious combinations with the great collards that have been available lately. I can't believe how tender they have been. What a great way to include more plant based foods into our lives!

We have been using the loki like zucchini, and they are delicious. Sometimes they get funky looking on the outside; the skin gets dark and mottled, but the inside is still perfect. Very strange. We like to shred our summer squash and use them as a pasta substitute. We have been bringing some to the market for customers to try with very cheeses and sauces we bring samples of as well. Ask for what you'd like to try, and we'll make every effort to accomodate you. We all need more plant foods in our lives. Is there anyone that doesn't know this yet?

It reminds me of the days when they were trying to do away with television advertising for tobacco products. There was so much opposition! Now we'd be shocked to see it as we have grown so accustomed to NOT seeing it. I believe the day will come with healthy eating as well. I don't know if it will be in my lifetime, but I believe it will come! I love being part of it now, and hope that I can make a difference. If just a few people have a higher standard of living due to better health, I will feel like my efforts are not wasted. How about you? How has your life changed when you have added more plant foods to your diet?
