Eating Healthy and Staying Cool with #GrapesfromCA

Summer's here and temps are blazing in the 100s all across the U.S. and Canada.  When temps rage this hot just the thought of turning on the stove is enough to make me want take out.  *fans self*  Seriously though, I have a few recipes that are cool and perfect for Summer dining.  

One of family faves using my Simply Summer Bow Tie Pasta Salad recipe with one addition - a handful of ice, cold, California GRAPES!  DELICIOUS!  I am entering this recipe in all the Summer recipe contests because it's our family fave and it's so easy and healthy too!

Adding a handful of grapes makes for a wonderful presentation and even greater taste

Did you know California-grown grapes account for 98% of ALL the grapes sold in the US?  Grapes are low in sodium, contain 0 fat and 0 cholesterol PLUS a 3/4 cup of grapes contains 90 calories.*


Add a few grapes to your Summertime snack or check out Green Black Red for some cool recipes featuring California grapes.  Better yet, if you've got a fab recipe, give it a grape (great) makeover and enter it in the Makeover Your Snack contest on the Grapes from California Facebook Page!
