"I stop and recall  'Ahhh, the Apple Trees - Blossoms and the Breeze - that we walked along; lying in the hay,
​ the games we used to play while the rounds were sung only yesterday when the world was young.' "

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! 
Honey, Apple, Cheddar, and Bacon Panini from Half-Baked Harvest, courtesy of Country Living's 80+ Best Apple Recipes to Try, From Sweet to Savory "Trust us—you'll want to spread the homemade apple butter on both sides of this toasty sandwich," says Country Living about this sandwich.  Chef Tieghan notes, "This honey, apple, cheddar, and bacon Panini is high on my Monday “to-do” list." Whether you make it on Monday or any other day of the week, you're going to have a pretty "darn good" day, she says. Find your apples this Wednesday from Pong's Orchard, they'll have early Gala Apples. Find your Cheddar and Havarti Cheese plus Bacon from Whispering Breeze Farm. Ask Kim, The Dough Whisperer what bread she suggests to substitute for Sour Dough.

The right mix can help you be healthier now and in the future. It focuses on portion sizes of vegetables and fruits being one half of your plate, the other half would include proteins and grains.
