Tuesday Tip: May is National Salad Month

May is National Salad Month so why not give your oven a rest and think of all the different salads you can relish in. First, we have the classic salad with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, dressed with your personal favorite. Then there are salads for fruit lovers. Mix up your greens with spinach, kale or red leaf lettuce then top with the berries of your choice, candied pecans, finishing it with feta cheese and a sweet vinaigrette. It doesn't have to stop there though.

If you are not looking to have your main course accompanied by a side salad, indulge in a cobb salad. Topped with chicken, bacon, avocado, and more, you are guaranteed a full belly with complete satisfaction. No matter what your key ingredient preference is; veggies, fruit, or meat, take the time this May to explore your options. If there is not a salad that appeals to you at your local market or restaurant get creative and build your own masterpiece!

One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.
