Lunch: Fresh is Best

What's for lunch at your house? 

Summertime brings with it so many fresh and scrumptious options. 

Here is what the mid-day meal looks like around here.

Sub-style veggie sandwiches on 

homemade whole wheat Walla-Walla sweet onion bread. 

Filled with organic, garden-fresh veggies...

zucchini, beet greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers,

wholesome pickles & lettuce

Yes, even some green beans. 

What a crunch!

Raw foodist can even partake in this garden fare, 

just use a large leaf of sturdy lettuce for the "bread". 

I sprinkled on some hemp seeds for added protein.

And we love mustard. 

Either we make it ourselves 

or use an organic variety from the store.

Yummy in my tummy!

For dessert, what could be better 

than the in-season fruit just waiting to be eaten? 

Splendid summertime strawberries! 

Sooo goood as the kiddo says.

* For some other nutrient-dense lunch ideas, look here and here. And here.

* I think I skipped breakfast in our summertime line-up. That one will come soon.

* We use organic produce from our garden & our local CSA.

Remember, 

fresh is best 

&

right of the vine is simply divine!
