Did you know…..
Tomatoes: One cup of raw tomato can give you as much as 20 percent of your daily vitamin A dose and up to 40 percent of your daily vitamin C dose. Add some to your salads and sandwiches, or simply munch on a handful of cherry tomatoes as a snack.
Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are all filled with vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber and natural sugars, making them the perfect addition to salads and summery desserts. Snack on some to satisfy your sweet tooth, or freeze them and add to your favorite summer beverage.
Watermelon: Juicy watermelon contains the most lycopene of any produce (yes, even more than tomatoes) and is full of fiber and water, making it a good choice to help stave off dehydration and enjoy a light but sweet treat. Eat it on its own, toss with feta for a summer salad or even dehydrate (with a dehydrator) to make a unique fruit leather snack.

Healthy Cooking…..
Cooking with basic ingredients means starting with whole foods like raw vegetables and fruits, proteins, and whole grains, and making food from scratch. That way you know you’re eating food in its natural state, without anything added.

All about Figs…..
Although figs are considered a fruit, they are technically a flower that has inverted into itself. The seeds are drupes, or the real fruit.
Figs are a good source of both calcium and potassium. These minerals can work together to improve bone density, which can, in turn, prevent conditions like osteoporosis. Studies suggest that a potassium-rich diet, in particular, can improve bone health and reduce bone turnover.

Have fruit for dessert…..
Think you can’t eat fruit on a diabetes diet? Not true. Fruit is, after all, nature’s candy. So on those nights when you eat dessert (we suggest once or twice a week), try a roasted plum, a half cup of berries with yogurt on top or a fruit crisp or crumble (go heavy on the fruit, oats and cinnamon and very light on the sugar and butter). “Bake” an apple in your microwave. Just core an apple, sprinkle the inside with cinnamon and a touch of sugar, and microwave for three minutes until soft. On the flip side….

Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits – they are high in fiber…..
You can replace some low-fiber carbs with starchy vegetables, like squashes, zucchini, or small baby or fingerling potatoes with skins. Also add vegetables when stir-frying or to soups.

Low-Carb Blueberry Muffins
Just because you’re watching carbs doesn’t mean you can’t have the classic breakfast pastry. In place of all-purpose flour, nutty almond and coconut flours make these muffins fluffy while slashing carbs. A bit of brown sugar blunts the tartness of fresh blueberries. Make these ahead for a grab-and-go breakfast for the week……

Break out the Herbs and Spices…..
Flavor foods with more herbs and spices, using twice or three times more herbs than salt. Look at a book on how to use herbs and spices and try some unfamiliar ones,
such as cumin, coriander, turmeric or ginger.
Also try roasting vegetables like squash or peppers to enhance their sweetness. For dessert, try broiled peaches or a baked apple.
