Great Recipes




I have been experimenting a bit more and trying to come up with some good recipes. The best one I have so far is my Orange-Sesame-Tahini dressing.
2 tbsp raw organic tahini
juice from 1/2 - 1 Valencia Orange

Mix the ingredients in a blend, and serve on a salad. I have not tried it on fruit, but it is likely pretty good. This recipe is a spin off of Doug Grahams Lemon Tahini dressing from, "The High Energy Diet".

A favorite recipe, of mine, out of Doug's book is the red pepper, celery and tomato soup.
1.5 cups red pepper (I like a little bit more for a stronger flavor)
1.5 cubs celery
1 cup chopped tomatoes

Blend the pepper, and celery in a blender to make the soup base. Then dump the tomato chunks in and enjoy!!!! This is a fantastic recipe. There are many variations of it as well.

We're really enjoying the Tomato-Basil soup at our house. I need to give this Celery-Pepper soup a try as well.

The dressing sounds yummy, but my system doesn't tolerate nuts well at all. I usually avoid them.

Have a great day!

Yes, the tomato-basil soup is quite delicious as well. However, my favorite is the pineapple-red pepper tomato soup. I have been eating a lot of that stuff.

We actually had the pineapple-red pepper soup Monday night. I love it. I found that I can get my daughter to eat salad if I put a little of the Pineapple-Red Pepper soup on her salad. She thinks it's a yummy dressing. Have you tried the Papaya Gazpacho?
