... And the Last Bowl of Strawberries

We enjoyed our last bowl of berries this morning for breakfast. I'm so glad Mom taught me how to make them last. (Thanks, Mom!) It has become a tradition for Little Man to go with Nana and Poppy each May to Tidwell's Berry Farm to get "The Strawberries". This year he even wanted to help make the jam. So the jars of yummy strawberry jam are on the shelf and the last bowl of berries gone. Now we'll start to look forward to the blueberries!




Here's a wonderful recipe for a fruit and veggie wash from The Prudent Wife over at http://www.theprudentwife.com/blog/ :


1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed or good quality bottled organic)
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
Squeeze fresh lemon juice, strain and put in your sprayer bottle. The lemon juice will help naturally disinfect produce. Add some vim and vinegar! The acid in the vinegar will help neutralize pesticides. Spray fresh veggies and fruits, rinse and you are ready to go!
