I'm so glad it's summer. Why? Because I can go swimming! In the past week alone I have been in a pool for a total of 15 hours. Not just lounging, either. Have you ever been in a pool with a toddler? I'm constantly swimming alongside him, letting him chase me, or playing games. In one day I burn nearly 1000 calories just doing that!
I also love that fresh fruits and vegetables are more plentiful in the summer. I planted my own little garden this year, and so far I have harvested nearly a whole bushel of radishes. Do you know how healthy they are? They are full of vitamins and minerals that fortify your immune system, help detox your liver, and keep you from getting congested. They do so much more, but I'd be here forever trying to list it all.
Today I was playing around with the radishes and greens and I came up with two fabulous recipes. Both use the radish greens (yes; they're edible!). One is a tasty summer salad, and the other is more of a side dish. Both are very filling and pretty low on calories.
You can find the recipes and nutritional info here: Radish Greens Recipes .
In other news, if you've been following along, you know there were some other goals I have been working on. Still there's no baby #3. I am getting closer to my goal of writing 100 articles on HubPages. I am outside every day with the kids.
I've been trying to think of some other goals, but I've been a little busy. June is such a busy month, isn't it?
Kids are stirring from their naps. Have to go before they wake up!
Thanks for reading!
