We’re Still Celebrating Earth Day (everyday)!
|
| We had a wonderful time at our Kids’ Earth Day event this week! We wanted to share some pictures (with parent permission) of our activities like eco crafts, playing games, telling stories, and learning about the environment! |
| One of the easiest ways to be kind to our planet is to reduce the amount of waste from single use containers. Learn how to use the bulk section at Wild Onion and bring your jars, bags, or other containers to take home some of our bulk spices, herbs, teas, nuts, and other staples! |

Smoothie Season & NoLa To Go
We’ve been non-stop craving bright fruity smoothies now that it’s sunny and warm! Consider smoothie season officially here.
Plus, the 4Suns Kitchen staple dish, NoLa Red Beans and Rice, is available to take home with you for an easy, hearty, healthy dinner. |
| Thanks to everyone for submitting recipe ideas and suggestions! Because of you, rice bowls can now be made with quinoa instead. Is there something you’d like to see on the menu at 4 Suns Kitchen? We’d love to know. Click the button below to share your ideas. |
