Fruit & Berry Delight

Wondering What DO With All Those Great Summer Berries And Fruits That You Pick Up at The Farmers Market's And You Can't Eat in Time Before They Go Bad. Freeze Them And Then Use Them Later for Yogurt Toppings, On Top Of Oatmeal, In Smoothies, On A Salad, For Fruit Salsas, Blend or Puree Them For Baking, And In Salad Dressings.

Here is a PIC of Some Fruits That Freeze Well Together That I Will Use in a Salad And In My Oatmeal.

Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, & Peaches

Lemon Tart

Either Make Your Own Tart or Buy a Prepared One

This Website PIC is for You to Learn What a Tart Looks Like. You Certainly Don't Need A Case of Tart or Quiche Shells Unless You Own a Business.

This is not the best PIC, but it Gives You An Idea of The Type of Tart You Can Use.

1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
grated zest of one organic lemon, not treated with any pesticides or wax sprays.
1/2 cup Splenda
2-3 TBSP Smart Balance Butter Blend Stick Cut Very Small
1 Egg
1 Egg Yolk
One Ready Made 5 Inch Quiche Tart Shell
Preheat the oven to 350F 
1. In a medium-sized Aluminum-Free saucepan, heat the lemon juice, zest, Splenda, and Butter Blend. Have a mesh strainer nearby.
2. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and the yolks.
3. When the butter blend sticks are melted, whisk some of the warm lemon mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly, to warm them. Scrape the warmed eggs back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and almost begins to bubble around the edges.
4. Pour the lemon curd though a strainer directly into the pre-baked tart shell, scraping with a rubber spatula to press it through.
5. Smooth the top of the tart and pop it in the oven for five minutes, just to set the curd.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing and serving.
7. Top With Icing Made With Confectioner's Sugar & Water

All About Healthy Comfort Foods This Month

With Fall 2010 Approaching on Tuesday September 21 in the States some of my new meals are focused on comfort foods that you can layer in one casserole dish, put in the fridge till your ready to cook and then pop in the oven and your done. Wait a day after you have cooked them to then freeze what you want and have a few other times as well. If you have a bigger family you can have this as one dish or make extra to freeze.
These dishes in some cases are semi-homemade and sometimes use frozen items that you can freeze in a new dish. They are quick, easy, usually budget friendly as well as being healthier and supplying your body with quality nutrition.

Have been recovering from my most recent 2 trips to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN so I have not posted new recipes in a while. I have many new recipes as well as new photos that I will start to post in the coming days and weeks ahead.

Whenever I am out of town it takes me a while to settle back into any type of routine. Going through a few weeks of mail seems to take me a super long time. Then I wind up with piles all over my dining table for another few weeks as well. Today I can actually see some empty spots on my table and I came home from Mayo Clinic on September 10, 2010. Although I could not pick up my hold mail till Monday September 14, 2010. It is only September 20 so I feel that if it takes me another week I will have more time for posting my recipes and photos of my yummy food.

My New Travel Bag

My nieces gave me this great bag.










Great Breakfast at The Honey-Jam Cafe in Batavia, Illinois

Having spent the previous week at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for my second time this year for more tests, procedures and doc appointments I needed to come home and sleep in the comfort of my own bed at least for a few nights before I drive back there on Labor Day for another weekly round of tests and doc appointments.

My sister called me on Saturday and invited me to meet her and her family for breakfast Sunday morning at the Honey Jam Cafe. This is a new restaurant in Batavia, Illinois and I was happy to have some local food and spend time with family.

I ordered the Skillet which had broccolli, mushrooms, peppers, onions, cheese, on top of hash browns and with egg whites on top of everything and told them to hold the tomato. It was very good.

Honey Jam Cafe Veggie Skillet
My sister had a waffle with bananas in a peanut butter sauce and chocolate chips and powdered sugar on top. This looked like a decadent desert for breakfast to me.
