SPRING FRUITS

ARE COMING!!!!

 

 

Last call for chocolate Valentine's Day hearts!!!!  If any of you are still staring at the carnage that is left over from Valentine's Day.......do as I did this morning......save yourself and throw it out!!  Don't be sad though, for all of the most awesome Spring fruits are coming into season!!  Apricots, blueberries, grapefruit, kiwis, strawberries, and pineapple are just some of the yummy ones.  Yes, I know that some supermarkets boast about having these fruits all year round, but if you're like me, it takes me forever to try to examine the containers of fruit from every angle when they are not in season, looking for the already in progress "scientific experiment".   But guess what.....soon I can just pick up the container and be comfortable knowing that I am not bringing home an "extra" life-form with me!!! 

 

Listen, I enjoy my chocolate during Valentine's Day week.......but too much of a good thing can become a bad thing.   Replace the sweetness of chocolate with the natural sweetness of delicious fruits.  Remember, eating a diet rich in fruits helps to reduce your risk for heart disease and may help protect you against certain types of cancers.  Not a bad reason to eat it....right??   Also, fruits are rich in dietary fiber which helps to improve the functioning of your digestive tract.......keeps it moving!!

 

So say "Bye Bye" to your chocolate heart and "Hello" to delicious Spring fruits!!!!
