K is for Poatassium

On the periodic table!  My hubby has had leg cramps and was told he had low potassium, so we started eating more of the foods listed below, and wah-la!  Leg cramps are gone.  Food really can heal you.  Enjoy the table and the food!

  1. Swiss Chard, Kale, and Eggplant are perfectly suited to Central Florida summer gardens and are super easy to grow! One of my favorite guilty snacks is hummus spread into a leaf of swiss chard, rolled up. So crunchy, tasty, and satisfying! Who knew it would cure those horrible charley horses?
