If you’re the type who can’t resist reaching for candy to satisfy your sweet tooth, reach for a clementine instead!  Clementines are the smallest of the mandarin orange family, but what they may lack in size they more than make up for in flavor!  They’re easy to peel, usually seedless, and have only 35 calories.  The only thing that might be better than the bright, tart flavor of clementines is the big nutritional benefit.  Did you know that just ONE clementine will get you 60% of your vitamin C?  That’s pretty amazing for such a tiny treat.  Clementines typically get here by way of Spain o

Some places have sales just to get items out of the store.  When we put a special price on something, it’s because we know it’s at its peak of freshness, and when you bring them all together, you get a great meal!  This is the time of year for heartier veggies like yams and brussel sprouts.  This week is a great week to visit Fresh Madison Market and start building some meal prep boxes.  See how easy it is with this great idea  that gets high marks at Tasty: One Pan Chicken Veggie Meal Prep
