Frozen Stone Fruit Pops

Frozen Stone Fruit Pops

This weekend's weather is going to be one for the record books. And while you're probably going to do your fair share of whining about it (105 degrees SUCKS, we're with you!) you can also do something about! Stone fruits (cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, etc.) are absolutely delicious right now and are available from lots of local growers. You can use their juice (even with pieces of their fruit in them) and purees to make refreshing frozen pops all summer long. We also used Greek yogurt mixed with local honey as the last layer of each pop, but you can omit if dairy isn't your thing.

Chard + Hummus Wraps

Chard + Hummus Wraps

Sometimes you need to step up your snack game. And sometimes you need to make your veggie consumption easier to attain. Enter the chard wrap. This snack (or lunch) turns the traditional wrap (usually with some sort of tortilla) into a gluten and grain free powerhouse of nutrients.

It's also a step up from a regular lettuce wrap. Chard offers six time more Vitamin K than lettuce- which is vital in building healthy blood. It's also a great source of Vitamins A and C and magnesium.
