Summer Fruit and Healthy Recipes
It’s summer time and fruit is ripening everywhere. I’m always
ready for something fresh (and healthy) this time of year.
Cinnamon for any fruit...
Remember Fireball? If you’re over 30, chances are you haven’t (hopefully) been downing those sticky sweet cinnamon shots in a while. Heeet Vodka is the grownup version of Fireball. It’s not as sweet, definitely not as sticky, and you’ll want to enjoy it, not down it in a gulp.

This all-natural vodka is distilled six times and made in
small batches for ultimate flavor. I loved Heeet
Vodka just on the rocks, but here’s a quick recipe that will give you a fruitier
alternative to enjoy this summer.
Tropical Heeet
4oz Pineapple Juice
11/2 oz HEEET
1 oz Ginger Ale
Splash of grenadine
Garnish with a slice of pineapple
Fill a tall glass with ice and add the ingredients in order.
Cherries are my favorite summer fruit. Oliver
Winery has taken that semi-sweet fruit to a different level in their Cherry Cobbler wine.
They definitely got this one exactly right. It’s a bit tart,
and a bit sweet, making a perfect finish to a summer night (just like cherry
cobbler is). If that’s not enough to get
you to run
out and buy it, it’s under $10.
That hint of vanilla really gives you the buttery pie feel
too. I definitely wouldn’t add anything to Oliver’s Cherry Cobbler. Just chill
and serve.
I’m still having fun with that big box of Pereg
Gourmet flours and grains. This month I decided to try two products in
one recipe for a Healthier
Turkey Meatloaf.
I still have more products to try, including plantain and chickpea flours, so stay tuned for more recipes.
Speaking of healthy, I received a copy of a new book, You
Can Have It! More than 125 Decadent Diabetes-Friendly Recipes.
The book is put out by the American Diabetes Foundation so
you can trust the nutritional values. It’s written by Devin Alexander, the celebrity
check from The Biggest Loser, who has
also written The
Biggest Loser Cookbook and The
Most Decadent Diet Ever.
