- Post pictures of all of these dishes attributing them to the proper author.
- Post my absolute favorite recipes that I feel must be shared.
- Post any recipes that I have, in any way, made changes to.
So, here goes:
1. Banana Passionfruit Smoothie
I changed this slightly from the original, so I'll share!
To make:
Throw 1 large banana, a good chunk of passion fruit (I used frozen since this was impossible to find!), 1 and 1/2 cups soy milk and 1-3 drops vanilla in the blender! Blend well and serve!
2. Coconut Papaya Lassi
I typically don't like papaya, but this was tasty!
3. Fried Egg Sandwich
I wasn't thrilled about trying this one but it was delicious!
4. Picnic Pasta Salad
This is one of those absolute favorite recipes that I feel must be shared! I've made it several times and this time I made it for friends and everyone loved it!
To make:
[Ingredients]
1 package penne pasta
2 cans tuna, in olive oil (I used tuna in water)
1 punnet fresh cherry tomatoes
1 bunch green onions
1 red onion, chopped
Fresh Herbs such as chives, parsley & basil (I skipped out on the chives)
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper
[Directions]
Boil 1 packet pasta according to directions.
Drain tuna. If using tuna in oil, save the oil and use it in the salad.
Flake the tuna with a fork and toss through the cooked pasta.
Add either the oil from the tuna or regular EVOO.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the green and red onions and add to the salad.
Tear or cut the herbs with kitchen scissors and add to the salad.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad. Add salt & pepper. Toss gently.
Refrigerate and serve!
*Before taking it out of the fridge, add some more EVOO, as the pasta tends to dry up!*
5. Zesty Guacamole
This guacamole had an extra hint of lime and 1 teaspoon of chili paste which made it fantastic!
