The Live Green Smoothie Diet

  This lovely low-fat, high-protein salad whips up so quickly and uses a simple technique to make raw broccoli even more tender than steamed. The natural sweetness of the mango mixes with the acidity of the chopped tomato and a wee bit of cold-pressed olive oil to make a simple dressing. No need for fussy bottled [...]

The light, fresh taste of this super-creamy Banana Pudding is so compelling, you’ll want to just gobble up the whole batch! In fact, it would be a filling meal and great for a quick refreshing supper on a hot day… or a late-night treat. Shoot… gimme some for brekkies! There’s no milk in it, no [...]

   What a great salad. Seriously folks, if you haven’t tried any savory fruit salads, give this one a try! My 20-yr-old son who does not like tomatoes loved it. And the dressing… it’s amazing what you can do with fresh corn and zucchini! Here we have the sweetness of crunchy watermelon mixed with the [...]

I could eat this every day, for any meal. In fact, if you would kindly rummage a plate up for me now, I’d be quite pleased, thank you. It’s lusciously juicy, creamy, crunchy, sweet… with a bit of good salt to perk things up all the more. And completely pedestrian. No exotic superfoods here or [...]

The theme of pairing watermelon with tomato continues. I’m a big one for having multiple options for similar ingredients, because there’s a lot to be said for getting into a groove of having a consistent family of ingredients in the house at any given time. You just gotta know what to do with them so [...]

This is a non-fat recipe with no added sugar, and a non-savory (no onions, no garlic, no olive oil) way to enjoy the health benefit of your jucy summer tomato harvest!

At times this is a staple in our house. It’s just so brainlessly easy to make, and so ridiculously delicious, I love having it on the table to go owith whatever else is rummaged up. Fresh papaya is so succulent and rich… like juicy butter! It’s such a wonder that it has no fat in [...]

Okay, so clearly this isn’t true “pesto”, and as it has neither onions nor garlic, it’s not really a “salsa” either. But you get the gist… call it what you like, just call it good. And you can always add some red onions or a bit of fresh garlic to this recipe, or sprinkle some [...]

The way tomatoes taste in heaven… This is a sweet, tropical answer to the Bloody Mary, and I’ll bet you’ve never had anything like it! The intent of this recipe was to make a Tomato-Rose Sorbet sweetened with Mango, made creamy with Zucchini, and made aromatic with Rose Water. But it was so delicious, I [...]

This makes for a very pretty first course, buffet side dish, or a main dish salad for one. It’s super-easy and made from ingredients so easy to pick up at your local grocery store… or perhaps you even have all the items growing in your own garden! Tomatoes, zucchini, tomatillo, fresh basil… paired with garlic, [...]
