Are you planning on eating your veggies today? Thank you No Bad Foods, LLC for sharing this veggie recipe

Guess what's coming up on June 17th? It's National Eat Your Vegetables Day! Not that we shouldn't be eating a few more veggies on a regular basis, this day is a reminder of how important it is to get enough of them in our diet. So, in honor of the day and in keeping with the understanding that kids will probably NOT want to participate with enthusiasm, I came up with what I named The Secret Loaf. What's the secret? There are 4 cups (yes, 4 cups) of fruits and veggies in it and I defy the kids to pick out the carrots and zucchini in the middle of the apples and raisins. My husband, a child at heart, devoured most of it before I could snap a picture. Here you go:

It is peach season and here is a great recipe using chicken and peaches. I have made something similar before and it is a great and tasty combination. Thank you!

Stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums to name a few) aren't just for dessert or a snack. They can be tossed in a salad for an unexpected pop of flavor or made into salsas to top fish or pork. Here they are combined with shallots and chicken thighs for a sheet pan meal that is easy to create and easy to clean up. This recipe serves 4 but is easily doubled as long as you use a bigger sheet pan. Enjoy - we did!

Berry good!

It's berry season! In our house, it's been blueberry muffins, raspberries mixed in with my yogurt, blackberry cobbler and sheet pan pancakes with a berry mix including strawberries. I'm also buying lots of extra berries to freeze for later. All of them low in calories, high in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants. One cup of mixed berries is roughly 80 calories. Not bad at all.
Here's a shortcake recipe that is a little on the rich side but is packed with unsweetened fruit with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream on top. Cuts a few calories and I don't think you will miss the sugar - the fruit is sweet enough on its own. Here you go :
