Kitchen Garden



You can find great deals at the Home Depot or other garden stores at the end of the season. I purchased these Geraniums and non-blooming plants for between $1-$4 each. I just re-potted them, gave them a good drink and some plant food and they are thriving and have lasted all winter. The pots are inexpensive too!

Scrambled tostada with baked whole wheat shell and refried black beans



I made the tostadas by baking whole wheat tortillas in the oven I lightly sprayed them (350 or 375) with cooking spray and sprinkled with a little salt and if you like chili powder or cumin. Then I served them topped with refried black beans (canned and warmed up on the stove or in the microwave) and scrambled eggs. I topped the tostadas with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge.

Frozen Grapes with Berry Sorbet



Wash the grapes and then place in a plastic bag in the freezer for at least an hour. I made the sorbet scoops with a melon baller.

Peach and Avacado Salad with Egg White Scrambled Tostada with baked whole wheat shell


The salad is a mixture of diced up fresh peaches or nectarines, avacado, green onion and cilantro with fresh lime juice and a little salt. The Tostada is the same as the other one I list but with scrambled egg whites. This version is low in carbs because I use whole wheat tortillas.
