Sometimes I feel a little tropical; other times a bit earthy, and sometimes a little sweet tart. These Fruit-Flavored Waters have these sensations covered and deliver much more than feelings!

Love me some blueberries during blueberry season! Sometimes large and sweet, other times tiny and tart. Always fun to eat with nutrients that can’t be beat! Any type of blueberry is fine for Blueberry and Fig Crumble since they’re sweetened up a tad.

Time to get acquainted with untried tomatoes out there, and what better way than my Mixed Tomato and Onion Salad with Grilled Shrimp!

Plus, it’s quick!

I love salad in an edible package--like taco salad, hand-held tortilla roll-ups, falafel and now … my recipe for Chickpea Salad with Pita Triangles! In my recipe for Chickpea Salad with Pita Triangles chickpeas star, along with crunchy veggies and plenty of Middle Eastern spices. You can add lean protein, if you really wish. Look at its versatility!

Want an easy veggie dish that’s good for you, too? And pronto, too? My Stir-fried Asian Vegetables can be on your plate in no time! I’ve come up with an assortment, but feel free to swap as you may.
