My favorite combination: mango and pineapple!
Tales from the Juicer: Papaya Breakfast Smoothie
I finally got a juicer this past December and have been experimenting with all sorts of combinations. Some have been complete disasters, but some have been fantastic. Here's one of our favorites.
Refreshing Summer Watermelon Salad
I could eat this every hot summer day . . .
Spice Up Your Night Chocolate Strawberries
A simple yet delicious way to spice up any meal. A healthy dessert with a little sexy kick!

This agave tea recipe not only aides in digestion, but it is a refreshing hot tea, which I find to be a rarity. Perfect for any season and warm or cold.
Strawberry Leftover Panettone Milkshake
There's panettone everywhere. Even after the holidays, I still can't manage to keep bread at bay (ominous music plays) Moving on! So, we make do with what we've got, right? Kind of. But yes, stores are still stocked with 'price reduced' panettone loaves. During one of my endless yet glorious grocery escapades I happened upon a pristinely wrapped Pandoro Milano - seemingly, unshaken by the frantic rush of the holidays. It was G. Cova...I look for the price, thirteen dollars. Thirteen Dollars! Are you kidding me? Where was that price tag when I needed it most? Apparently, this panettone is one of Martha Stewart's favorites for making french toast. Enough mind babbling, I'm sure Martha Stewart has fine taste. I say, "You're coming with me." and throw her in my basket. I can't even pick at her on my way home - she's wrapped in beautiful Italian-esque wrapping paper and twine. I speed. Home! I carefully unwrap my loaf as so not to disturb the paper too much and reveal a humble, sophisticated mountain-shaped confection. I slice the top and marvel over the cute star shape in front of me and slowly raise it up to my mouth...divine melt. I see why this panettone is so illustrious. That kind of comfort in your belly is matched by no other (I'll eat those words later) Mom greets me in the kitchen, mouth full, crumbs and all on my face I say, with wide eyes, "You know what would be good with this? Strawberries. Holy Cow, eff that!" I reach for my VitaMix, "I'll show you."
Vanilla-Stewed Apples + Bananas
This quick fruit recipe is perfect for a chilly morning. The vanilla bean elevates the fruit, while the banana lends some creaminess. It also makes a good afternoon snack, or a light dessert. Delicious on its own, the addition of yogurt, nuts, and coconut does make for a rounder start to the day. It is also really easy to pack this to go.
Seville Orange Membrillo
In my excitement about the Citrus Contest, I impulsively purchased some Seville oranges. Usually I pass them by because I know I don't have time to cook them. When I got home, I decided to use the quinces that were on the verge of languishing and the Seville oranges. Jane Grigson wrote about the combination of orange and quince in Spanish quince paste. I used the juice and julienned zest from the Seville oranges to flavor this batch of quince paste. The bitterness of the peel and sour juice make a lovely counterpoint to all the sugar and the julienned peel adds a crunchy texture to the membrillo.
Simplest Strawberry Frozen Greek Yogurt - no machine needed
This is a quick and creamy frozen yogurt is based on Greek (or other) yogurt with no ice cream maker needed. I got the idea from Good Housekeeping but I doubled the yogurt to make it more luscious and creamy. Still very low on the calories. (Just use 1/2 the yogurt if you want to revert to the 70 calories per serving original.) It is meant to be eaten right away before it is completely hard. But if you save some leftover, just let it sit on the counter to soften before serving.
Fragrant Kumquat Marmalade
Adapted from the recipe for Kumquat Marmalade in Alice Waters' book Chez Panisse Fruit, I used my favorite white wine as the cooking liquid. It smells amazing.
Sparkling Blood Orangeade
This is such a refreshing and simple drink to make on a hot summer day! For this soda, I simply combined ginger ale with the juice of oranges and blood oranges, resulting in a thirst-quenching, vivid and tasty drink. Here's a tip: although much of its flavor is masked by the orange juice, use a good quality ginger ale that you would even drink on its own. It does make a difference!
Fresh Orange Juice and Nutella Smoothie
One of my new year's resolutions is to get back into Nutella, but I want to disguise it as a healthy ingredient whenever possible. A smoothie with fresh orange juice and non-fat Greek yogurt works well with a touch of the Magic Stuff. The orange juice and Greek yogurt provide a nice, tangy counterpoint to the Divineness formerly known as Nutella. Use any variation of "Nutella" that you have on hand.
Candied orange pecans with bourbon
Had a bunch of leftover booze from our wedding and created this using bourbon
Chocolate Tangerine Curd
I used Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe for lemon curd as the base for this recipe. The resulting curd is balanced between rich chocolate and sweet-tart tangerines.
Orangetini
This is sunshine in a glass for adults! This is one of my favorite cocktails to enjoy. These babies go down EASY, so be careful! Once, for a surprise party for my mom with the "help" of my 5 year old daughter, my husband juiced over 100 oranges for this "signature" cocktail to be served at the party - love him!
Fennel, Orange, & Olive Salad with a Warm fennel dressing
This is one of my favorite winter salads because it's light, fresh, and pretty and very simple to make. It's perfect as a starter to a heavy meal or as a light lunch. My inspiration is a recipe from a restaurant in Nice, France, that was written up by Mark Bittman, for the New York Times several years ago. I've added a bed of sauteed fennel and infused flavors into a warm dressing, based on an olive appetizer that I make often for guests. I use Kalamata olives because they are easy to find and are often already pitted, but you can substitute any kind of oil-cured olives. You can make this ahead of time, but be sure to bring the oranges to room temperature before serving. Also warm the sauteed fennel and dressing.
Orange Sandesh
Sandesh is a very simple dish made from cottage cheese.
Kumquat-Earl Grey Marmalade
Since this recipe has no added pectin, it's a bit softer than store-bought marmalade. I love it spread on think slices of toast or spooned into yogurt or müsli. Make sure to choose kumquats that are quite firm, not squishy.
BLACK PEPPER-VANILLA BEAN-CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
The fragrant long and skinny vanilla bean has the most delicious flavor and is a secret ingredient in many of my favorite recipes. In this dressing the bean gets a starring role. Wonderful with shellfish, seafood and sliced citrus, it is equally fabulous with roasted chicken or pork. It is incredibly fragrant and flavorful. You might be tempted to just try a slug of it!
Masala Lemon Soda
What do you do when life gives you lemons! Taddaaaa! Make Masala Soda recipe! Masala soda is a very well-known street drink found in most of the cities in India.
Effortless Clementine, Carrot and Mint Salad
Inspired by an orange salad served at my favorite Tapas restaurant (Si Tapas in Dallas), this easy-to-assemble dish has become my go-to for easy entertaining. The raw carrot gives it a nice crunch without taking anything away from the sweet clementine. The red onion provides a nice 'zing' and the mint brings colors and subtly ties it all together. It's refreshing in the summer, and a perfect light dish in the winter to take advantage of my darling clementines.
Brandied Cranberries
These are great on their own, as a salad topping, or in cocktails. I love to make a Cranhattan using the brandy liquer the berries soak in. Just replace the sweet vermouth in with the soaking liquid, and garnish with the cranberries.
