Purple

Our little girl is pretty girly, give her anything pink or purple and she's happy.   She gets extra excited for her veggies when I hand her a purple bean or we have purple grilled potatoes with dinner.  Dark colored vegetables are especially healthy too.  They contain more antioxidants than their lighter counterparts.  Purple fruits and veggies can also help to decrease blood pressure and inflammation related to diabetes & arthritis.  Even more reason to enjoy these beauties from the field this week!

We love eating green beans right off the plant, when I do cook them I try to keep them nice and crunchy.  Last night I made something similar to this dish I found on realsimple.com-
Garlicky Green Beans with Pine Nuts

Here is our simple and delicious dip for any kind of radish- 
I always adjust the size of the batch as needed, so the measurements are easy to work with.
