This Week's CSA - Week 7!

There’s nothing better than fresh, locally grown herbs! These tiny tender leaves can elevate any home cooked dish by adding lots of flavour without the added salt or fat. To highlight one of my favourite herbs and one that made its appearance in this week’s CSA box – let’s talk about basil. Basil is a rich source of calcium, potassium and iron. With 85% of your daily-recommended vitamin K intake in just one-tablespoon! Plus basil is a great antioxidant.

Chew that Smoothie!

One of my most recent purchases was a fabulous vintage yet modern 9” mason jar that came with its own crocheted cozy and straw lid – in other words the most perfect smoothie on-the-go travelling mug! Thanks The Jar Girl for making my summer cool. Speaking of smoothies I thought this would be a good time to explore the need-to-knows of smoothie drinking.
