- seasonal foods -

One of my favorite things in life is food! When I say food I don’t mean going out to eat the type of food but the food you buying grocery stores. I loooveeee fresh ingredients! In an effort to make sure I am buying what’s in the season I have researched the fruits and veggies that are mostly in season in the month you’re buying them. (plus they’ll be cheaper so you can save money on travel! 😉 Enjoy!
