Helen... With the weather warming up and summer evenings on the way, it's time to swap those heavy winter meals for light, easy to prepare salads. Why not even try growing your own salad greens? A $3 packet of lettuce seeds will provide nearly enough lettuce for a family of four for the entire summer. Get inspired with Trolley Tips recipes to eat seasonal foods that grow in abundance and are easy of the wallet (see story in this newsletter). This is a great resource to share with your family, friends and clients, especially as the financial pressure experienced by many at this time of year can make it even more difficult to keep the shopping cart full of healthy options. Big congratulations to the organisers of the Nelson Cycle Festival. This week-long cycling extravaganza showcased all that the region has to offer and catered for all shapes, sizes and cycling abilities. It was especially pleasing to see all the cyclists at the 'Go By Bike' breakfasts. What better way to start the day than a cycle to school or work? Until next time, Helen Helen

At 10:00am on 10.10.2010, working
bees were held around the world to celebrate solutions to climate
change. In Nelson people got
gardening.
A new face has returned to
Marlborough with the aim of leading breastfeeding coordination across the
community.
You can be stylish and
ride a bike at the same time, according to 'Anne Frocker' of the local
Frocks on Bikes group.
Nelson and Richmond
celebrated Bike to Work Day on a glorious spring day in
October. 
Let me count thy ways.... rhubarb
and apple crumble, rhubarb muffins, rhubarb cobbler, strawberry and
rhubarb jam, rhubarb pie, stewed rhubarb... the list is endless.
We'll be sharing a recipe from our
Trolley Tips recipe database each month from now on and this month we're
profiling a favourite with the kids! Forget burgers as 'junk
food' - they can be cheap, simple and make a yummy weekend lunch or
quick weeknight dinner.
