Fresh Spring Foods

When winter is finally over, and the flowers start to come out, I know it is spring. That means the fresh fruit and veggies will be in abundance. This means good eating!
(This is a good tip for those with allergies, I suggest getting a jar of local honey and the begining of spring to help your body start developing antibodies to the new allergies for the spring. Not to mention chicken or fruit with honey is delicious.)
Now in the state of Florida, we get a few season of delicious fruits that come through. We have strawberry, blueberry, oranges, and watermelon. All delicious fruits to eat. I like to make fun bowls out of watermelon and cantaloupe. Its a fun easy way to use the fruit and eat it to. For fresh veggies, cucumber anything during the summer is refreshing and delicious. There are even some adult cocktails that have caught on to this. Lettuce makes a great bed for many dishes.
You really cannot go wrong with the produce of spring, its fresh delicious and light. Also fruits and veggies help thin you down for the bathing suit season.
