Lazy hot days, laying by the pool, cold drinks, BBQ's, dinner on the patio...it all means Summer is here! Living in Canada, the snow has melted, the seeds have been planted and we are able to enjoy the best growing season of the year with beautiful fruits and vegetables. The majority of our fresh fruit is grown in B.C. so fresh fruit stands pop up all over Canada with big ol' red B.C. FRUIT signs. I can't wait to start visiting the fruit stands and having veggies harvested from my Dad's garden passed along to me. What a delicious time of year to plan meals.
