Basil Tomato Watermelon Skewers
There are several varieties of fresh basil available. Genovese and Thai are the most common and either can work in this dish. Wait until watermelon is in season, because it needs to be both ripe and firm to hold its shape on the skewers.
Caramelized Onion Pudding
Yes, onions by themselves work great as a side dish or as a dessert! This recipe lets you appreciate their natural sweetness.
Kiwi Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is better than Jell-O because it can work with acidic fruit. I especially like to use golden kiwi for this dish. They have the same nutritional benefits as green kiwi but a more subtle flavor.
Carob Fig Balls
This recipe capitalizes on the phytonutrients found in figs. Use this dish as a breakfast for special occasions or as food to help fuel your next long hike.
Poached Ginger Chicken
This is always one of my family’s favorite quick meals when we have chicken and leftover rice.
Beet Green Smoothie
Beets usually come in a bunch, with the stems and greens attached. Beet greens are packed with vitamins and nutrients, so we’re including them in this smoothie.
