Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 My very favorite fruit is fresh strawberries and sadly, we're about at the end of our season for them. The most-fun way I enjoy them is sliced, 1 1/2 cups and mixed with 1/4 cup of softened Cool Whip Free and then -- the clincher -- I spoon them into a Keebler Waffle Cone (yes, an ice cream cone -- 1 point each and they're large!). The whole thing is 2 points (1 for the cone, .5 for the berries and .5 for the C.W.). Yum! Bette in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yum! thank you for sharing the salsa recipe that sounds wonderful!! Maureen Question of the day 7/7 Which fruits are a big part of your diet? How do you like to eat them? (Raw and plain, baked, etc) Any tips for working more fruit into an eating plan? My Answer: Right now I have blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, canteloupe, red seedless grapes, and bananas. I normally just eat them plain or in a smoothie made with yogurt. What about you? Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 FRESH fruit of any kind is on my mind and melons which are growing in my garden. I made a Mango Salsa for some chicken on July 4th when I had some girlfriends over. Very good, simply: 1 cup mango, chopped 1/2 sweet onion like Walla Walla (or more if you like onions, like me) roasted red peppers (they suggested canned, but I roasted mine myself SO GOOD) chopped fresh mint juice from 1 lime Just mix it all together and let the flavors come together in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.

(Raw and plain, baked, etc) Any tips for working more fruit into an eating plan? Answer: Blueberries: In cereal, and pancakes. Mandarin oranges: in a spinach salad with blueberries, shredded carrots, chicken breasts (marinated in light raspberry and walnut dressing), pecans and same dressing the chicken is marinated in. Bananas: alone or in cereal Candace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Right now watermelon and strawberries are my favorite fruits, especially since I'm afraid they'll not be as available in a few weeks. I also love bananas, and often will eat a little mixture of strawberries and bananas. Question of the day 7/7 > Which fruits are a big part of your diet? How do you like to eat them?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Oh, I forgot to say about Blueberries - I like them on my Kashi Go Lean cereal in the morning or with FF Frozen Cool Whip for dessert or just out of the box for a snack or occasionally, I'll mix them with FF Sour Cream and some Splenda with a slice of toast and a cup of milk - a meal that brings me back to my youth.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Oh it is! It is the best light ice cream out there, in my opinion.
