To ensure the best tasting and lowest prices on fresh produce, eat by the seasons. Ever eat a peach in February? No comparison to a fresh picked peach in July, right? Along with the benefit of optimal taste, seasonal and locally grown produce costs less and aren’t preserved with pesticides.
Some fruits and vegetables require higher amounts of pesticides if not grown organically. Buying and eating the following foods in season or from a farmers market is a healthier and inexpensive choice:
-Strawberries
-Apples
-Peaches
-Cherries
-Pears
-Nectarines
-Potatoes
-Spinach
-Celery
-Bell peppers

Cooking Accomplished! has been a great find for myself and several of my friends. The concept is simple; you go online, pick the entrees you want and the date you want to assemble them. The difference between Cooking Accomplished! and several other businesses like this in Portland, is quality! The owner is a trained chef. They have a commercial kitchen where all the ingredients are prepped by Shelley and her staff. Many of my friends, prior to joining me for meal assembly sessions at Cooking Accomplished!, admitted to serving and eating frozen or pre-cooked meals several times a week and to dining out two or three times a week. We decided since we are worried about nutritional value and using quality local ingredients we would research meal assembly as a solution to reducing time spent shopping and preparing dinners with the goal of eating healthier. The only assemble-your-own meal company that we found in Portland, that had great selections, high quality local ingredients and prepped all their food in-house is CookingAccomplished! in Lake Oswego. Since I started preparing meals at CookingAccomplished! I've also signed up for a couple of great cooking classes. My son attended a kids class as well and he can't wait until the next one. Shelley has done a fantastic job of creating a quality experience!
