Light Summer Eating

If you’re like me, the hot weather really curbs my appetite.  I just don’t feel like eating as much in the summer.  And when I do eat, it’s usually just small, light meals.  That’s why the Copps/Pick N Save websites are so helpful.  They give me dozens of recipe ideas that are on the light side and perfect for summer meals.  I love fruit in my vegetable salads and this is a nice treat from the normal “fruit” on salad recipes.  It’s fabulous.  Hope you’ll give it a try too!
