Fresh Fruit And Vegetables All Year Round
By Julia Taylor-Fernandez
Fresh fruit are always available. Some fruit may not be in season,
but there is always other fruit that are in season. You can have
fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the year.
For example, I have seen at the local market, apples and pears
available all the time, bananas arrive from the tropical areas
and you can always get some fresh vegetables for your salads.
You can even have a little garden in your backyard to supply
your herbs, fruit and vegetables for your salads and cooking requirements.
A couple of fruit trees in the backyard, will add to the variety
of fruits available to the family. Orange, Lemon, Apple and Pear
trees are quite popular. You can pick your vegetables and fruit
whenever you need them.
Lately, I have been on a health kick, and this means that I am
trying to buy different things at the fruit market. This is not
a problem when I go on my own, but when I have my husband with
me, he often frowns at all of the fresh fruit that I am putting
into the cart.
He likes fruit, but he knows that I can’t seem to stop choosing
what I want, and it does add a lot to our weekly grocery bill.
He doesn’t eat as much as I do, but I have noticed that he is
eating more of it now that I keep buying it.
I know that fresh fruit is one of the most important things
we can eat. I have been making sure that we have a vegetable with
each meal, and I prefer that my daughter eat fruit when she wants
a snack.
This is something that is not a problem for her because I have
always tried to give her fresh fruit from the earliest days. Once
she was able to eat it, it was something she had. She loves fruit
and I am glad that this is at least one thing that I know I have
done right with her.
Though there are times when there is not as much fresh fruit
available, you can usually find something in your local store
or fruit market.
Farmer’s Market
I love to go to the local farmer’s market to get fruit and vegetables,
but that is not something I can do all year long. I usually have
to settle for what I can find in the winter months.
I can always travel to the big city market and find fruits and
vegetables all year round, there is always something in season
and a large range to choose from.
I go to the fuit market every couple of weeks these days. I enjoy
the drive to the big city and come back with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Everyone loves Apples, Bananas and Oranges
If you are worried about feeding your family fresh fruits because
you think they won’t like them, make sure you buy the usual suspects.
Almost anyone will love apples, bananas, and oranges.
Though you may think that your kids won’t eat fresh fruit, you
might be surprised what they will eat when nothing else is around.
They may complain, but if you don’t give them much choice, they
will eat what they can find.
If children are given fruit to eat, rather than salty and fatty
snacks, then they will become used to eating fresh fruit and will
have no appetite for snacks.
If you need to give them snacks, get popping corn from the market
and make some pop corn. Do not add any butter or salt and your
children will love it. I give this out at children’s parties and
the pop corn seems to disappear rather quickly.
Children will eat what is given to them. You should always give
them nutritious fresh fruit.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
