Backyard Getaways
Posted on 02 October 2009 by Tricia
With school back in session and the stresses of work, it’s probably time for a “staycation.” You don’t have to travel anywhere far or break your budget to plan a family getaway. Just think of all you’ll save without travel expenses and having to dine-out!
Since you’ll be dining in during this “staycation,” why not take advantage of all the fresh produce that’s in-season like, broccoli, carrots and spinach? There are a lot of tasty recipes available at the KRAFT Salad Center to help you take full advantage of fall produce and enjoy the cooler weather in the comfort of your own backyard. Here’s one of my favorites because it’s so easy! Sit back, relax and treat yourself to this tasty medley of vegetables, complemented by the sweet taste of KRAFT Light Raspberry Vinaigrette. It’s a great way to appreciate all that the fall has to offer!
