If you're growing a fruit and/or veggie garden, do you usually plant way too much? And have tons of veggies you have to get rid of...give to your neighbors, give to your children and grandchildren, possibly think about putting up a roadside stand?
Well, if that's you, and you don't exactly know what you're going to do with all that garden stuff, we have the answer for you.
Our library is going to host a program on Tuesday, May 14th, at 6 p.m. with specific answers to that concern.
Andrea Scarrow is a University of Georgia, Colquitt County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences. She's going to teach us how to use our fruits and veggies in her program "Using Your Garden's Bounty."
You'll gain insight about the importance of increasing fruits and vegetables in your diet to prevent chronic disease. In addition, you'll receive new recipes for fruits and vegetables, as well as learn about cooking methods that preserve nutrition and taste without adding extra calories. And we'll talk about ways to get children to eat more fruits and veggies...that's a winner in itself!
There's a special part of Andrea's program that I'm really looking forward to...we'll taste-test a low calorie fruit and veggie dip! Learn and eat, all in the same program. Can't beat that!
Don't miss this enjoyable, educational time. The event is open to the public. Just show up!
