Making Fresh Produce Last Longer - 5 Simple Tips

We have moved to a new home! Come visit us at Capturing Inspirations at capturinginspirations.com!

Whenever I go to our local farmer’s market, I end up buying a TON of fresh produce. I get inspired. I get excited. I dream of all the healthy dishes I will prepare for the week. I lug it home and reality sets in. This is a LOT of food and it is not going to last very long. We do eat loads and loads of fruits and vegetables around our household, since I am a huge smoothie advocate; we always have fresh greens and vegetables on hand. Even though we are consuming a lot, there is just no room to let things spoil. Because if it’s spoils, you are literally throwing your hard earned money in the garbage!

Perfect Pairing

I spent an undisclosed amount of time typing away my very first blog post explaining why I decided to begin a blog. I did a little research on other cherished blogs and saw this was common practice. Except it just doesn't suite me. Without hesitation it was deleted with the realization that it's actually quite simple. Me and a blog. It is a perfect pairing. Kale salad and red wine. Also a perfect pairing (see photo). All I know is my desire is to reignite my passion to write and express that my life is simply a collection of beautiful, messy moments I want to share with transparency. Life is such a blur that you can see time slip away like water running through your fingers. Lets all take time to capture those moments...and be inspired.

Kale Salad

Ingredients:
1 bag of Kale (organic)
2 Tbsp. of olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh squeezed lemon
Cajun seasoning to taste

Massage all ingredients together (except tomato) until soft and wilted. Add tomatoes and serve. Delicious.
