Rhubarb is that long red stalk with green leaves you see in the supermarket. Though technically a vegetable, rhubarb has a unique sour, fruity taste.

You will not believe how easy these are to make and how wonderful they taste! Once you start eating these “fries” you’ll never miss the other ones.

You don’t even have to cook to make this dish! It’s just pick apart a chicken, chop up the veggies and stir the ingredients together. If your teenaged kids like Mexican, let them make this one!

In a hurry for dinner? Feeling like a cold entrée? This whips up really fast and will remind you of summer even though it includes winter fruit.

I designed this pear recipe to go with meat dishes. If you carve some turkey, slice some ham or grill up a pork tenderloin to go with this salad you’ll have a full meal.

This is a great little side salad, good with any dish.

This recipe comes from veteran Plan Z dieter Amy. This is adapted from an old recipe from the 1970’s. Even then some people knew how to eat.
