Fresh limes, so bright and green,
Squeeze them in, add zest unseen.
In drinks or food, they bring delight,
A tangy burst, pure and light!Yasmyn Schneps

I can't go a day without using olive oil, whole wheat flour, nuts (peanuts, almonds, macadamias, cashews) and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) soy milk, honey and salt. I couldn't live without our fruit and veg supply from our farmers markets that make it so affordable to feed our family good food in season: mangoes, bananas, avocados, potatoes, peaches, strawberries, grapes and more.
