I love this time of year and find it so much easier to want to make better food choices. I am obsessed with the fresh strawberries and black plums right now. And I've been making fresh salsa out of the beeeautiful tomatoes. I don't think I can ever go back to jarred salsa again after finding this awesome mix.

Whats everyone elses summer garden favorites?

    lots of cucumbers in vinegar/water and tomatoes with cottage cheese and salt and pepper! Fresh from my huge garden! Very rewarding to sit down at dinner and 3/4 of your plate is from your own garden.

    All of them. I'm a fruit addict, apples, bananas, all berries (except black...just can't get past that core!). I think raspberries are my all time favorite though.

    I love squash, and tomatoes picked from my plants and warmed by the sun.

    I eat a whole watermelon in 4 days. Eat tons of peaches, plums and grapes.

    Summer fruit is the best! I've been making combo smoothies: blueberry and plum; apricot and strawberry, strawberry and peach, blueberry and avocado, mmmm. Plus I made this AWESOME summer veggie soup with chicken a few weeks ago and I've been obsessing over it ever since. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/southwestern_chicken_soup.html
