We’re in the midst of summer, which means when you’re not getting sandy in the scorching hot sun, you’re probably going to the movies to see some summer flicks, like the one with the dude in the spider costume or the other with that freaky clown. Whatever...
A while back, I reported that frozen fruits and vegetables are perhaps even healthier than the fresh kind, and my freezer has since become a mecca for broccoli, spinach and tropical fruit blends. I now plan on constructing the ultimate freezer, where an assortment of healthy foods can escape...
