Holding On


It's back-to-school time, but I'm not ready to say good-bye to summer yet. 30 degree weather demands light-tasting food and delicious drinks.

So, refresh with a green smoothie! Just blend together one banana, a peach or nectarine, a couple handfuls of raw spinach, a half cup of plain yogurt or kefir, and a half cup or so of water. Oh, and throw in a little cube of peeled, fresh ginger. Surprisingly healthy and delicious!

Or fill up on arugula salad topped with fresh figs and magic beans. I served this with smoked turkey breast sandwiches and red quinoa dressed with truffle oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

I wish I was the queen of green. Then I could quit my job and become a professional mattress-tester.

I am not a big fan of smoothies BUT I could go for that one. And that salad, looks like in a Martha Stewart magazine,.... figs and organic beans.

I agree with ChHristina you are the queen of the green.
