save money by meal planning with what’s in season

Food prices in Canada remain high, but there are ways to get more bang for your dollars. One of the best ways is to plan your meals around what is in season. Summer and fall harvest seasons offer plenty of options to save money and eat healthy.

At this time of year, there is an amazing variety of fresh fruits ripe and ready to be enjoyed, like blueberries, apples, grapes, peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, strawberries, raspberries, watermelons and more.

There is no less variety when it comes to locally grown vegetables, from classic favourites like beans, cauliflower, carrots, peas, carrots, radishes and squash to more varied options including artichoke, bok choy, daikon radish, mustard greens, snow pea shoots and water spinach.

Tree, field or vine-ripened, they’re packed with delicious flavour and nutrients, whether they’re eaten on their own or used as an ingredient in a favourite dish.

Whether you’re stopping at an on-farm store, visiting a farmers’ market or stocking up at the supermarket, shopping for what’s in season means plenty of supply and good value for money. Buy extra when you see a great deal and freeze, can, process or pickle produce to enjoy all year long as jams, jellies, sauces, condiments, soups, ingredients and more.

Buying local will not only help you stretch your food budget, it’s also climate-friendly and more sus-

tainable. A shorter distance from farm to plate means fewer emissions and less food waste, and you’re supporting Ontario fruit and vegetable farmers who are using a wide range of environmentally friendly practices that support sustainable production.

This includes investments in technologies and practices that support more efficient use of water, energy and fertilizer; using tools like soil testing and cover crops; and reducing water and pesticide use.

Four ways to enjoy local fruits and vegetables all year long:

• Freezing – Peel, slice and pit fruits and freeze them on a large baking sheet before transferring them into freezer bags or storage containers. Chop and blanch vegetables before freezing by boiling them

briefly and cooling them quickly to improve food safety and preserve nutrients and flavour.

• Pickling – A relatively fast and easy option to preserve fruits and vegetables is to marinate them using a brine, which is a mix of salt, sugar, vinegar, water and other spices of your choosing.

• Dehydrating – Use a dehydrator or freeze dryer to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and make them convenient for on-thego snacks or meals.

• Canning – A great but a bit more complex way to make jams, jellies, chutneys, sauces, salsas and other condiments. Find a good recipe, and make sure to follow the directions for proper canning techniques. ■

give your home a vintage modern mix

Perfecting the trending look of vintage modern décor is all about striking the right balance between old and new. Although gorgeous versions of this style can be found everywhere, it can be difficult to know where to start. Get ideas for your next project with these creative ways to fashion vintage-inspired décor from Sharon Grech, colour and design expert for Benjamin Moore.

focus on the bright side

Nothing says vintage like the right colour hues – but be careful not to go overboard. If you prefer neutral

walls, add pops of colour with bright retro chairs, patterned rugs, or art deco inspired artwork.

accessorize with vintage game and hobby pieces

Use vintage pop art to bring the family together and add to the theme. “Right now, it’s all about 1950s inspired furniture and games. Record players, retro bikes, and ping pong tables are great collectibles, but are also fantastic for entertaining,” says Grech. “Old picture frames, light fixtures, and antique jars, vases, or bowls will also help add finishing touches to your room.”

antique it

Adding antiques or vintage furniture to your collection will warm up the clean, modern lines in contemporary design. “Buying vintage doesn’t have to break the bank,” Grech confirms. “Antique markets or garage sales are some of the best places to find older tables, cabinets, or chairs. Once you’ve found your pieces, give them new life with a fresh coat of paint and new fabric if necessary.”

You can create a weathered look with paint by sanding away any peeling or high gloss paint and picking a colour that works well for antiquing, like whites and brights. Use waterborne interior alkyd paint and a high quality synthetic paintbrush. Grech recommends a paint that is ideal for furniture projects because it’s selflevelling and has a longer dry time, allowing you to achieve a high-end finish.

For the perfect weathered texture, allow paint to dry and then sand some of it off using 80-grit sanding paper. Focus on the legs, drawers, and edges.

Don’t worry about imperfections, which will make the furniture look like it aged naturally.

For a finishing touch, update the hardware on cabinets or coffee tables –brass, nickel, or rubbed bronze finishes will keep it classic. ■

fall into season

Autumn is the season of change; colourful leaves, back-to-school activities and cozying up your home for the winter to come. But did you know it’s also a great time to get on board with a healthier lifestyle?

Even if you’re not going back to the books, the return-to-the-grind mentality is infectious and can ultimately help with your motivation. Here are some ideas to get you on track to a healthier lifestyle this fall.

Kick that bad habit. We all have a less-than-healthy habit we know we’d be better off without, so make it your goal to quit it this season. If you’re trying to quit smoking, you can increase your chances with a new method of quitting. Autho-

of change

healthier habits

rized by Health Canada, Combination Therapy includes the use of the patch for ongoing support combined with oral products to help control the sudden cravings that make quitting more difficult. For more information, talk to your pharmacist or physician to find the right dose to provide your best chance of success.

Start in the kitchen. A good diet is linked to lower risk of cancer and other illnesses. It also simply helps you feel good, with increased energy. As the weather sends everyone huddling indoors, soup is a delicious comfort food you’ll be craving that is easy to make and is packed with nutrients. Look for a broth that’s low in sodium, adding your favourite veggies and low-fat protein like beans or turkey breast.

Develop a plan. Really hoping to start an exercise routine but keep putting it off? Whether it’s going for a walk around the block, hitting the gym or trendy workout class, schedule physical activity into your day planner, making sure you stick to it. You can also set aside some time to batch-cook healthy meals for the week, allowing you more time to enjoy relaxing activities, like reading or painting.

Boost your immune system. Get ready to stand up to the cold and flu season that’s right around the corner by incorporating a few immune-boosting activities into your daily life. Eating a wide variety of antioxidant-rich seasonal produce, getting enough sleep and exercise and making sure to relax, will go a long way towards warding off upcoming bugs. ■

packing tips

BY JOHN PRITTIE

University and college students across Canada will soon be flooding back to campuses, and when they arrive, there’s all of their stuff. John Prittie, President of Two Men and a Truck – Canada shares six simple steps to ensure easy moving.

pack right, pack light

The dorms aren’t very big and there isn’t much room for clutter.

Try to only pack the essentials with a few decorative items such as pictures of family and high school friends to make it feel more like home.

wheels make it easier

Take a cart or box dolly to help you unload and move items from your car or van to the residence.

items of a feather, are packed together

Pack similar belongings together; it makes unpacking on arrival much easier for you.

pack your tools

Buy a tool kit once you get to campus, or bring one from home, because you never know what you might have to put together, take apart or fix.

survival of the fittest

A First Aid kit is always helpful. But make sure you’re packing medicines and cleaning supplies separate from your other items.

recycle your materials

Make sure to break your boxes down and pack them away in a safe and dry place so you can use them when it’s time to move out.

If you don’t want to purchase boxes, rent totes instead. Totes stack so they get the job done well and can be picked up or retuned after a move. ■
