Little bites are small bites of the season, just as they are in the produce world. I especially love little bites of summer, as they are the perfect snack to have for later in the day or with a quick side of hot sauce.
Little bites are a way of eating produce like tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers right on the stem. They are so versatile that they can actually be enjoyed a few days after the season has ended. Like I said, they are wonderful when they are fresh from the vine but also when you are cooking for friends and family who just happen to be in the vicinity.
Little bites of summer are great for kids because they are easy to make and can be made without the help of a food processor. You just have to toss the produce into a bowl and then add the seasonings to the food processor. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers.
I don’t know about you, but I love to cook. I’m also a big fan of fruit, but I don’t have a food processor. So I make my own. And I’m a huge fan of fresh produce. The seasons have changed this year in our part of the country and I wanted to do a post on the things that help me survive during the winter.
I remember a month or so ago, I made some homemade ice cream and I was shocked at how good it was. But I think I could have used more. I bought frozen berries at the grocery store and froze them. The fruit goes in the ice cream freezer. When I was out in the cold, I would make a frozen treat or two and then freeze them. It made the ice cream super creamy and more affordable.
I didn’t buy the berries from the grocery store, but I did buy frozen berries from the frozen food section. The frozen berries and berries go in the freezer.
I have a freezer full of frozen berries.
If you are in the habit of buying and eating the same thing over and over again, I would say you need to give them a break. It’s not healthy, I know, but you might not think about it or just do it.
Frozen treats are just one example of the ease with which we can buy and eat the same thing over and over again. It’s just one of those things that can get you in trouble, like we did because I bought the same cereal from the same grocery store. Or you might think the frozen berries are not as high quality as the frozen berries in the grocery store. Or you might think you wouldn’t need to buy the frozen berries from the frozen food section.
I can honestly say I’ve never had trouble putting two and two together. I think it comes from not knowing about the power of coincidence, and from not knowing about the power of randomness. When you buy the same thing from the same store you might just end up with the same thing. It’s pretty easy to see that if you look at one, you might not see the next.
