Pineapple Nice Cream
All-fruit, dairy-free and with no added sugar—these are the hallmarks of nice cream, a healthy alternative to ice cream. This pineapple nice cream has tropical flavors, thanks to a hit of mango and lime. It takes just minutes to make this naturally sweet frozen dessert in the food processor or a blender. Enjoy it alone, or top with fresh fruit and toasted coconut.......


Farro Salad with Cranberries and Persimmons
When shopping for this healthy salad recipe, be sure to pick up the right type of persimmons. The flat-bottomed Fuyus called for here are bright orange and have texture of an almost-ripe peach when ready to eat—perfect for salsas and salads, with or without the peel. Oval-shaped, darker orange and larger Hachiyas are only edible when almost liquid on the inside. The flesh is best used in baking or can be scooped out of the skin and eaten like custard. Underripe, they are off-puttingly tart.......


Chocolate-Peanut Butter Protein Shake
This creamy high-protein shake will keep you satisfied for hours and tastes like a chocolate-peanut butter banana milkshake. You don't even need to add protein powder, thanks to the naturally occurring protein in the soymilk, Greek yogurt and peanut butter.......

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Thank you to Amy for sending me this one to share....

The tough Pineapple core that is usually discarded or pressed for juice can also be sliced lengthwise and used as stirrers for fruit drinks.

Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa

Wow I tried Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa for the first time and I'm going to have to make room for another Salsa! My favorite is still Newman's Own Black Bean and Corn Salsa but the Pineapple is awfully close! It's a completely different Salsa than the Black Bean and Corn. It's got a little heat from the Jalapenos and then you have the sweetness from the Pineapple, it ends up a perfect match for a Salsa. This would go good over your Eggs at Breakfast or at dinner for a topping for your Baked Potato. I'll be adding this to the Pantry Stock for sure.





Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa

Aloha-peno!  A little sweet with a bit of heat.

All Natural Ingredients

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste, Citric Acid), Diced Tomatoes, Crushed Pineapples, Jalapeno Peppers, Brown Sugar (Sugar, Molasses), Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Onions*, Natural Flavors, Allspice

Teriyaki Chicken w/ Water Chestnuts, Mini Carrots, Pineapple Chunks, and...

Dinner Tonight: Teriyaki Chicken w/ Water Chestnuts, Mini Carrots, Pineapple Chunks, and Chow Mein Noodles

My Mom has been spending most of the day with my Dad at a Rehab Center so I've been trying to make sure she has a hearty and filling dinner waiting on her when she comes home. Last week or so I prepared a La Choy Creations Sweet & Sour and this week I went with the La Choy Teriyaki Chicken. I love these new one-skillet meals from La Choy; they add an Asian flair while also creating a filling and delicious meal in no time!. Each box contains all of the ingredients you need, except for the meat, to create a flavorful meal in just 20 minutes. All you have to do is combine the ingredients with your choice of protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, whatever you choose) in a skillet and any sides you would like to add and your done. When done you have a delicious meal that was easy to prepare and even easier to clean-up! The Teriyaki took 2 pans to prepare it, 1 for the Chicken and Sauce and 1 for the Rice.

First time I prepared this one and it will not be the last! Excellent Chicken  Teriyaki! The flavors were incredible and the  Teriyaki Sauce was fantastic. I added Sliced Water Chestnuts, Libby's Skinny Fruits No Sugar Added Pineapple Chunks, Mini Carrots, and China Boy Chow Mein Noodles. I love using Pineapple in dishes especially with Asian style dishes. The Pineapple paired with the Teriyaki Sauce was perfect combo and the Sauce was, oops I already told you how good that was. The La Choy box reads it has 6 servings but you could get more than that out of it. This would go great with Shrimp or Pork also. For dessert later a Jello Sugarless Dark Chocolate Pudding.





La Choy Creations Teriyaki Chicken

La Choy Creations Teriyaki Chicken offers a mouthwatering match up of red peppers and sesame seeds in a tasty teriyaki sauce, served over rice. All you have to do for this deliciously easy meal is prepare the chicken with the sauce, and then pour the blended mixture over cooked rice.
