Budwig Diet Smoothie

Budwig Diet Smoothie by John Spottiswood

Someone turned me on to Dr. Johanna Budwig recently. I read a bit about her research and her diet online. While there isn't a lot of hard evidence behind it, she was definitely ahead of her time in recognizing the importance of good fats, and the harmful effects of bad fats, in our modern diets. She strongly encouraged the…

Delicious Freezer Jam

Delicious Freezer Jam by Nancy Miyasaki

I took the kids berry picking and ended up with a ton of extra berries. Instead of throwing the berries we couldn't eat away, I decided to make homemade jam out of them. Everyone, from my husband to our baby, has loved this jam! So I thought I would share it with you. It's amazingly easy, so don't be scared to try it. We've had…

Banana Split Pie

Banana Split Pie by Mary Joseph

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not much of a baker, but this is an old family recipe that has been gratiously "given" to me for use in my cookbook so I want to share it here with you all. Its one of the very few dessert recipes I make and its addicting, so look out. To this day if I show up to Thanksgiving without this people are…

I love Chai Tea. You can use any of the flavors from David Rio's collection for this but the Toucan Mango is the best for a tropical twist.

Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers

Recipe of the Week - Keeping It Simple - Easy Appetizers by Dennis Kraus

(From the Appetizer Collection at emealsforyou.com) I seem to be on a mission to find easy but good food; maybe it is the unbelievable heat we have been having. Simple seems to have a special appeal when the thermometer reads in the high 90's. The neighbors came over last night for dinner and I was scratching my head to come up…

Guacamole from Oaxaca

Guacamole from Oaxaca by John Spottiswood

This is an easy to make, flavorful, and slightly spicy guacamole. Previously I never blended the onion, garlic and cilantro into a puree as this calls for, and I think it does a better job of distributing the flavors evenly. It also reduces the amount of fine mincing required. Even if you've got a trusted guacamole recipe, you…

Quick and Easy Avocado Dip

Quick and Easy Avocado Dip by Sherwin Faden

I make this avocado dip often and serve with chips. I often serve a spicy salsa separately. The avocado dip is very light and refreshing. As there are only three ingredients in the recipe, the choice of tomato is very important. Tartness is controlled by how much lime juice you put in.
