How to Pi ck a n E gg pla nt (male vs female?) Hi Everyone! There was some discussion this week at pick-up on how to pick the best eggplant. Some interesting ideas were thrown around about size, shape, male, female, indents and seeds. I've done some research and here are the facts: The smaller the eggplant, the sweeter it tends to be. *I don't know about you but this presents a challenge to my inner child, I got immediately excited by how massive some of the eggplants were. Butttt, I am sad to admit that the size of the eggplant is what showed up most consistently in my research as to the best way to pick out a sweeter, less seedy eggplant.

Homemade Frozen Fruit Bars (No Sugar Added)

I was looking around on Pinterest to see how to make some fun popcicles for a party we are throwing this summer. There will be families attending with children and adults of all ages. I thought it might be fun to make homemade popcicles for the guests to cool down with. Then I thought hey, what a fun way to use up some of our berries throughout the summer. Ingredients 1 cup (4.4-4.6 oz) fruit (e.g. 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup chopped frozen strawberries, etc) ¼ cup full fat coconut milk OR whole milk yogurt 1 teaspoon lemon juice (the bottled kind works well) ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 1-2 Tablespoons honey OR sugar-free sweetener (I like Truvia, but xylitol, erythritol, etc works well) Optional 1 teaspoon glycerin (to make Popsicle soft when frozen) Instructions Cut fruit chunks into small pieces (1/2”) and freeze on a parchment-lined cookie sheet overnight, or until solid. Measure out fruit chunks using a scale. Working quickly, add fruit chun...
