The Live Green Smoothie Diet

So refreshing… like Essence of Watermelon, but with a creaminess that must come, almost inexplicably, from the mango! Add a wee bit of Citron vodka and, well… let the festivity start. Gorgeous in a lovely glass. So fresh. Eezy-peezy. I mean… what more could you ask for? There’s enough here for two blenderfulfuls, and the [...]

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 [...]

   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 [...]

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 [...]

Naturally sweet and robustly warming with a good heap of fresh ginger root, you can also had some fresh baby spinach or parsley to make this a warm Live Green smoothie-tea. This is definitely one of my favorite Warm Live Teas. It’s unexpectedly creamy — something about the watermelon, I’ve observed, when you smoothify it. [...]

My son Curran’s comment while tucking into a second cup of this tea with a friend: “How many pink drinks do you know that are healthy for you? …Pepto Bismol does not count!” These new Warm Live Teas that I’m making are a big hit at home, and this one is just fabulous! Gorgeously colorful, [...]

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. [...]

The End of my Mono-Smoothie Recipe Series… For Now. This is the last recipe I have planned in my current Mono-Smoothie series. I’ve really wanted to drill into my readers that you can whip up a smoothie from ingredients so simple, all you really need is ONE kind of fruit, or vegetable, or fresh greens. [...]

For real… who knew? This unusual recipe is both creamy AND refreshing. For some reason these two flavors meld together into an extremely mild flavor, a deliciously drinkable antioxidant feast. The watermelon and the raw cacao don’t clash with each other at all, as one might think. And with both these foods having some reputation [...]

  The perfume of rose infused with the sweetness of watermelon and the tartness of raspberries… it’s a deliciously romantic marriage. Simple, easy, a feast for the eyes, and a heady experience for the remaining senses. This recipe makes enough for one…but you know you’re going to have to double it for a special *someone* [...]
