Tip: The farmer's markets are probably still open in your area. Buy the last of the fresh vegetables while they are still economical.

Make His face Shine upon you, And be gracious to you; May the Lord turn His face
toward you, And give you peace…Numbers 6:24-26(paraphrased)

From the nutritionist: The protein is found the the hamburgers. the fresh fruit and vegetables provide vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are found in buns and pudding. For diabetics do not add the sugar or use artificial sweetener. Any left overs should be sealed in air tight containers and refrigerated. Happy fall cooking!
