The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I must be doing something right in the kitchen, because here’s another recipe I just wasn’t fast enough to grab my portion! Sure, as the chef de cuisine, I get my taste, but so often everything disappears before I can settle down for a good munch! In this case, my son scurried away with two [...]

Oh for a bit of jalapeño and a handful of cilantro! They would make this salad just over-the-top yummy, yet my fridge was bare of these two staples. Even so… I mangia-ed this entire recipe for my dinner and it was wonderfully satisfying! Crunchy, juicy, sweet, with some of the comforting squoosh from the bananas [...]

Another recipe that reflects the exquisite simplicity when following nature’s natural measuring system: “one tomato, one avocado, one banana, on green onion…” Banana Guacamole? Is anyone else doing this? Surely it must have been done before, I just never heard of it. Wish I had heard of it sooner. It’s delicious. And with the amount [...]

  A tomato, a banana, a green onion… who knew these guys made such a great team? But it’s not so surprising, really… Bananas have been used in all sorts of savory dishes around the world, and tomatoes are technically a fruit. The combo makes me think of fried sweet-banana cuban “maduros” with fresh salsa. [...]

Talk about a quick and uncomplicated dinner…! Alas, I’m munching it for lunch, as is my son, and my mother… so, there’s nothing left of it for dinner! This is a dish to eat with a fork, at room temperature. Don’t chill it. Let the air, even the sun, warm it a bit, and enjoy [...]

One of my absolute favorite raw recipes is my Savoy Cabbage/Tomato/Almond Butter Salsa/Chopped Salad. It’s a mouthful, I know, and suffers from an identify crisis when it comes to its name because it can be Just So Many Things! A salsa to enjoy with raw chips or organic tortilla chips… a great filling for a [...]

Bet you never had watermelon and broccoli together before! After this recipe, it might become a fave for ya. This recipe is sweet, crunchy, filling, and substantial. A great one for anyone watching their weight, that’s for sure. You’ll be so surprised how well watermelon and broccoli go together when treated this way! [private] Recipe [...]

   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 [...]

Why isn’t tomato paired with tangerine more frequently, I wonder? It’s a great combination… gorgeous on the plate, and the sweetness of the tangerine pairs so nicely with the acid in the tomatoes! This particular recipe has so many uses. You can serve as-is. You can add fresh greens and toss for a green salad, [...]

I love savory fruit salads, especially when the weather warms up. This one uses just a few completely pedestrian ingredients to give you something that’s both juicy and luscious. My son’s summation: “This salad is awesome.” You could feast on this quite satisfyingly for supper, but I could have this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [...]
