Laura’s Salsa
This ridiculously good salsa is from the cookbook of my cousin, Laura. Family goes ga-ga over it at the annual family reunion. Therefore, I knew it would be the perfect thing to share with guest at our Oyster Party last weekend.

Gazpacho Soup
What is gazpacho you ask? Well let me tell you…. gazpacho is the PERFECT summer soup served chilled with in season fresh veggies and spices.
This recipe is compliments of my good pal Leigh. She and I both ran track and graduated in dietetics from ISU. She now works as a dietitian at the KU Integrated Med Center.
Each week she does a cooking class and I was lucky enough to sit in on last nights where she dished up this refreshing soup from the cookbook Simply in Season.
Gazpacho Soup
described as being the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and cool
Ingredients:
4 C tomato, chopped – load up on your cancer fighting antioxidant, lycopene
be sure to purchase local tomatoes, can use heirlooms in recipe as well
2 C vegetable broth
1 C cucumber, diced – get you healthy glowing skin from chomping of these
1 C green or red bell pepper, diced – Vitamin C and A reduces damage to your cells caused by free radicals. This damage can lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

1/2 yellow or red onion, diced – onions offer a blood sugar-lowering effect
2 T honey or agave nectar
1 T lemon juice

Sundried Tomato Tofu w/ Quinoa
J and I LOVE it! Especially with some low fat cottage cheese atop.
the reason why I post it today is because yet again I have slightly changed it by trying a new pesto. Instead of the Basil Pine Nut aka green pesto, I tried Sun-Dried Tomato….and guess what!?!? It was still amazing!
Until next time…
