We’re into July! I can’t believe that’s half the year done, but I suppose if you’re living consciously from day to day, time doesn’t really mean anything! The main thing I’m appreciating about this hot (and terribly humid) weather is the change to sweeter fruits, with stone fruits also being crazily cheap down at the market! I’m talking cherries, apricots, peaches… everything I’ve been munching (and uploading to Instagram!) recently. See if you can find some of the following near you this month…
