FOODBITES
Servings of Sustainability
by Jennifer Joe
Spring is in full blossom and a bounty of delectable fruits and vegetables wait for our culinary creativity to be unleashed. Locally grown strawberries, avocados, lemons, Valencia oranges, grapefruit, sweet corn, peas, beans, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, sweet onions, cucumbers and cherimoyas are just some of the farm fresh foods you might find available at our Farmers' Markets, in CSA boxes and at Farm stands. Supporting organic agriculture and localized food systems can help to free us from a dependence on fossil fuels, as well as improve the safety of our food supply. This month's FoodBites shares a few slices of sustainability; linking food news, healthy cookbooks with recipes featuring some of these seasonal foods and events. Here's to nurturing your conscious healthstyle and celebrating your taste for life! See the online version (www.lightconnection.us) for even more resources, recipes and info.
