At the Farmers' Market your dollar goes a long way and lasts much longer. You can extend your dollars by using fresh scraps like vegetable ends and peels and overripe fruits to make juice, smoothies or homemade broths providing additional nourishment and nutrients. Time saving tip: For broths, freeze all vegetable scraps until you have enough to fill a slow cooker. Once full, fill it 1/2 way with water and set on high for 6-9 hours,. Then relax and enjoy your day as your h...ome fills up with the aroma of your hearty and healthy broth.
