There are some fruits and vegetables, because of the way they are grown, that should be bought from an organic farm or from a local farmer you trust. But what to do when you crave a fruit or vegetable that is not in season? Where I live, for example, local spinach is available for only a short time. That's where the supermarket becomes a necessity. There are a number of organic and natural frozen foods available now. It seems like there are more every time I go to down the frozen food aisle! I've done a fair amount of sampling and found some ones I really like. Here are my top picks:
--For breakfast, I really enjoy Amy's Strawberry Toaster Pops. They are dairy-free and low-fat. Are they as gloriously junky as a regular toaster cake? Not completely. I did find, however, that the tangy flavor from the organic strawberry filling was surprisingly good. A nice way to enjoy organic strawberries in the off season.
--For a snack, I like Stonyfield Farms organic low-fat raspberry yogurt. Creamy enough, nice raspberry flavor.
--For lunch or dinner, I like Amy's Spinach Pizza made with organic spinach and tomatoes. I cooked it in the oven at a slightly higher temperature to get an extra crispy texture on the crust (and, truth be told, almost burned it!). I find the flavor very "fresh" tasting.
--In the search for a refreshing beverage, I sampled Cascadian Farms Organic Apple Juice from concentrate -- a tasty way to enjoy organic apples. I also bought a bag of Cascadian frozen blueberries to make a pie. Stay tuned for the results. I hope the crust fares better than the one on my Spinach Pizza!
