Summertime is here which means our favorite fruits are in season. Time to taste the delights of the season.
My husband brought home a fresh pineapple yesterday and it was gone in one day. Everyone in my family loved it and it was so great to see my kids enjoying fresh fruit with comments like, “This is my favorite fruit mom. We should have this every day.” It’s hard for me to think about pineapple without my thoughts going straight to Hawaii and our summer trip before our kids were born. We would go and buy a fresh pineapple in the morning and have it for breakfast. Those were the days! Pineapple has more than great memories; it’s a healthy treat as well. Pineapple is rich in manganese, which is a trace mineral needed for the formation of connective tissue and bones as well as the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. In addition, pineapple is a …

Sunday's partial solar eclipse had a lot of us looking to the heavens. We, along with other lucky folks in the West and parts of Asia, got a glimpse of the spectacular display, which was the first annular eclipse we could see from US soil in nearly 18 years.
