Southern Smoothie
Remember: Smoothies are not beverages, they're meal replacements, so keep their nutrition facts in mind when considering your overall diet plan. Peaches are undeniably the fruit of choice in the south, but you don't have to be southern to enjoy this beverage. Fresh buttermilk adds a pleasing tanginess and blends well with peaches. Tip: Use frozen peaches to achieve an icy smoothness. This recipe was written by the Healthline Editorial Team: http://www.healthline.com/health-recipes/southern-smoothie
Boozy Sun Tea
My favorite warm-weather beverage is sun tea, which my mother used to make in large jars and leave to steep in the backyard during the summer. I was trying to reimagine sweet tea vodka and lemonade in a way that wasn't so cloyingly sweet that merely thinking about it would give you a hangover. The subtle, mellow flavor of sun tea came to mind. The result is a refreshing warm-weather quaff that echoes the flavors of an Arnold Palmer (alcoholic or non), minus the overbearing sweetness, and without the pain the next morning. An excellent choice for daydrinkers who want to last the night, sip this concoction on a deck, on a patio, on a fire escape, on a rooftop, on a stoop, poolside, or anywhere else the sun is shining and summer is in the air.

"Nut" Another Breakfast Shake
Breakfast shakes are oh so delicious and you can be so creative with them. This one is a very almond-y shake and I love it! Almonds are my favorite nuts and I try to incorporate them in my meals as much as I can. Did you know.... A fistful of raw almonds (~7) a day are good for your heart, brain function, has the good fats (monounsaturated fats), calcium, fiber and magnesium. I like to call them the alpha nut!
Banana-Date Drink
My mom loves making this drink for a mid-afternoon snack. I also enjoy it for breakfast because it really fills you up. Its simple and fast and super delicious! The best part is that it does not need any extra sugar because the banana and dates sweeten the drink perfectly. The hint of cardamom and nutmeg takes this drink to another level! Its almost has a chai like flavor to it.

Minted tomatillo salsa
This recipe is a simplification of a recipe published by Sue Torres in The New Greenmarket cookbook. When I ran across the recipe I was intrigued by putting mint in tomatillo salsa. Mint and tomatillo are a fresh and delicious combination. My method and ingredients are different that Sue Torres', but the flavor combination was inspired by her. I roast the tomatillos and keep it ultra simple, just tomatillos and mint. This salsa is delicious on chicken tacos.
Blackberry Lime Buttermilk Sherbet
Buttermilk is the liquid left behind after cream was churned into butter. Since almost all the fat is in the butter, buttermilk is naturally low in fat yet it still has a thick creamy texture. Today, commercially-made buttermilk comes in various fat amounts so be sure to look for the lowest.

Grilled Orange Glazed Ham Steak
In order to make this Orange Glaze for Ham Steak recipe you may have to ask your butcher to cut a steak from a large ham if you don't see any in the meat case.
Kathy's Poppin' Slaw
I wanted to create a recipe for coleslaw that had a kick but also was on my "diet list" of foods to eat...so I came up with this recipe. When on a diet - I use low fat or fat free mayonnaise - so the poppy seeds and honey help mask the not-so-great taste of the fat free or low fat mayo but still keeps it nice and creamy. I make enough for a week at a time as it keeps well in the fridge. It is important to use the angel hair cut of the coleslaw (cabbage). Also be sure to refrigerate or freeze the opened jar of poppy seeds as they will become rancid otherwise.
Chard Stalk Hummus
Looking for a resourceful way to use up the stalks from your swiss or rainbow chard bounty? The use of chard stalks as a hummus is somewhat common in mediterranean cooking. I came across the idea in Root-to-Stalk Cooking by Tara Duggan. Paula Wolfert's The Cooking of Eastern Mediterranean and Clifford Wright's Mediterranean Vegetables also provide variations, among others. I adapted this dip using my favorite hummus recipe, heavy on the tahini and garlic. I was pleasantly awed by the texture - it perfectly captures the creaminess of hummus, and I'm still rapt in the memory of the garlicky lemon flavor. This dip is pink because I used rainbow chard stalks as that's what I had on hand, but for a beige-colored dip, use swiss chard stalks.
Sweet Potato Fries with Goat Cheese and Raspberry Sauce
Who doesn't love food trucks? Here in LA they are a way of life. They have their own Facebook pages and blogs and even have their own day of the month in Venice Beach! Well my own personal favorite was called Fresh Fries, an entire menu dedicated only to avant grade Fries. Unfortunately the truck is no longer and I have had to fend for myself in trying to recreate this most unusual late-night, ultra-indulgent food masterpiece, although to look at it you would think it more of a massacre. All I can tell you is that you have to taste it to believe it. It is the perfect balance of salt, sweet, creamy, sour mouth-watering goodness you will ever stumble upon after a 10 mile bike ride and a 5 mile hike. You have been warned :)
