Springing into Summer with Healthy recipes...

The winter is behind us and the focus is on easy, healthy recipes while we wait for the full blown summer weather to arrive.

Many of us have been scouring the seed and flower catalogues dreaming of gardens and producing our own vegetables. We are not alone.

The president of Burpee Seeds has this to say about their seed sales by March 2009: "Astonishing," said George Ball, president and chief executive officer of Pennsylvania-based Burpee. "We were 25% and 30% up." Victory Gardens, Money Gardens, Sustainable Gardens... are in. Even the White House has broken ground for a vegetable garden and the Department of Agriculture is jack hammering concrete to start one there.

Burpee has a suggestion for how to start your own "Money Garden". Read about it here

For those of us who will not have our own garden, we can still cook like we want to by choosing locally grown vegetables and minimally processed ingredients. Here is a selection of interesting and tasty recipes using ingredients readily available in most grocery stores.
