WHAT'S IN SEASON IN APRIL

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

During one of my first trips to Palm Springs my bestie noticed a grapefruit tree dangling right beside the pool (amazing) snagged a bunch of those juicy vagina looking things and made me a little spritz by the pool.

Now, whenever I do grab myself two ripe grapefruits to oral pleasure myself with I juice them right into some fizzy water, stick in a bamboo straw and my mind goes right back to reading my book by the pool. It’s five minutes of pure unadulteraded pleasure.

WHAT'S IN SEASON IN APRIL

Farmers Market Favorites: California Avocados

Nothing says Grown in California quite like the California Avocado. The Hass, the most popular brand, was born on a backyard tree right here in Southern California. We love these treats because they are loaded with nutritious benefits, including fiber, lutein (good for your eyes) and potassium (believed to help control blood pressure). In fact, avocados have more potassium than bananas do. While avocados do contain a significant amount of fat, research has shown that when eaten in moderation, they can actually help lower cholesterol.

Tangerines

Fresh-squeezed tangerine juice for an extra splash of vitamin C adds a favorite zesty boost to my iced Hibiscus tea . Add a spoonful of Maple Sugar for an afternoon delight.
