This is a fast vegan smoothie with a deep pink color and a rich, creamy texture. VERY filling, and perfect for people in a rush in the morning. You don’t have to give up a good breakfast when it’s this fast to make! I use vitamin fortified soy milk.
This applesauce is delicious! I make it for my younger brother all the time and he loves it – and he hates canned applesauce!
Make breakfast or a snack just a little special by serving this healthy yogurt dipping sauce with fresh fruit skewers. Use any fruit for the fruit skewers.
Loquats are a yummy small fruit with the flavors of mango and peach. They are hard to find in the grocery stores. The best places to find them are at a farmer’s market or else a friend with a tree! Great over chicken and fish.
A sweet, citrus, and spicy salsa. Perfect for an outdoor summer party. Would be great paired well with some chicken.
Ceviche is a Peruvian dish that is usually made with rocoto peppers. Since rocoto peppers are difficult to obtain outside of Peru, jalapeno peppers are an adequate substitute. Excellent as dip for tortilla chips. Excellent served in any option with blackened fish (i.e. ahi tuna), blackened chicken, or char-grilled steak.
Extremely easy version of the traditional dish. Delicious when served as a side dish or snack- I always get people asking me for this recipe!
Sweet potatoes and sage combine into wheat-free snacks by using rolled oats! Great appetizers! May be served plain or with a dipping sauce.
A sweet and tangy compote that is excellently paired with a blue cheese or Brie. Serve with crackers.
These delicious, lemony spinach pies are perfect as maza (appetizers), or serve them with other Middle Eastern dishes.
This homemade peanut-free butter is sweetened with cranberries for a great spread on cut celery, whole grain breads, and fruit. It also pairs well with soft cheese (don’t add more salt though). Feel free to try other dried fruits as well, such as blueberries, cherries, or apples.
My grandmother’s fried green tomatoes were famous in our community. The recipe is so simple, but the results are delicious!
Great with chips or on top of fish or poultry. I found this recipe in the back of my closet and use it all summer long.
Simple recipe for fried green tomatoes, perfect for appetizers or a unique fried green tomato B.L.T.!
Mochi is a sweet, short-grained, very glutinous rice with a high starch content. Mochi is commonly used to make rice cakes, for which it is pounded in large tubs until it becomes extremely sticky. It is then formed into balls or squares, which can be found in Japanese markets. Mochi is also used in confections and rice dishes. It can be bought in most any Japanese grocery store. This is a delicious way to eat it!
I created this recipe as a quick fix for something sweet and protein-filled for post-gym workouts…eventually the kids started taking it away from me and eating it themselves! Substitute what you like for a sweetener…I’ve used stevia, aspartame, and agave nectar, all with success. Greek yogurt takes some getting used to — it’s not for everyone!
We reduced the sugar and increased the whole grain fiber, making this easy to make fruit salsa and cinnamon tortilla chips healthier than ever. Great as an appetizer or a snack.
