Monday Message - Summer "Squash" is Ending!

Fall is creeping in on us with the cool crisp air and bright orange, red and yellow leaves blowing about.  As another summer comes to an end, we may find ourselves mourning the loss of fresh summer fruits and vegetables.  In an attempt to hang onto the last bits of summer, we may find refuge in extending the season by incorporating more "Summer Squash" into our regular meals!  Summer Squash is packed with nutrition and can be prepared a variety of different ways.  Check out this link from Kids Eat Right for tips on how to extend summer with your summer squash!

Keep in mind, with Autumn making it's way around the corner, we will soon be able to enjoy a whole new variety of squash as we move from Summer Squash to Winter Squash varieties!  Butternut, Acorn, Banana....Yum!
