EAT SEASONALLY

It's best to eat seasonally 🌻🍂☔🍀 because you are eating food at it's peak....it's best!

 When food is at it's peak, it's at it's highest quality.....it's fresher, tastier, more vibrant, and happier 😊

Here's what I am enjoying right now: 

I love fresh herbs and greens and eat them as much as I can. 

2 of my favorite things to enjoy right now are:  Arugula  and Mint 🍃.....not necessarily together....but hey, why not....you may discover something new 🙌

I love the spicy, crisp bite that Arugula offers.  It's bold flavor can kick up any boring salad 🥗and add a bright new flavor to any sandwich 🥪.  I, sometimes, just eat the leaves on their own because they're so flavorful 😋  If you haven't tried it, you must.....it's a game changer!

Mint is something that I grow in my home garden.  It is such a hardy (robust and sturdy) herb that it grows easily with little care and can sustain many conditions. 
Adding it to plain water with some sliced lemon will make a water drinker out of anyone (including me 😉)
I also add mint to many dishes as either a finisher like my mint lime rice or directly to the pot to enhance flavor like my arroz con pollo (translated chicken with rice.....but with so much more).

Adding a bit of freshness to any dish or drink really changes the whole dynamic of the dish and makes it come more alive.  It can turn the ordinary to extraordinary. 

Keep It Real and head on over to your Farmers Market and buy and eat seasonally

IT'S NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

What is a Fluffernutter?? A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I MADE IT!

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
