AND it can also be used to make amazing pizzas or wraps. But they “wilted” within two days – we now have limp and slightly moist potato chips on our hands. Pillowy soft pita bread is the perfect vessel for scooping up delicious hummus and perfect for sauces like my cucumber yogurt one. But apples are an important source of Vitamin C, fiber, and other phytonutrients, and peaches – in addition to being a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A – are surprisingly low in calories relative to their sweetness and satisfaction.įruits like apples and peaches are an important part of a healthy diet – don’t get scared by carbohydrate fear-mongering!įinally, I had to share the results of an experiment: we thin-sliced the red sweet potatoes with a mandolin and baked them with a little coconut oil. Many of my clients worry about the blood sugar and weight implications of eating too much fruit.

They were quickly transformed into mini-tarts with cinnamon yogurt and granola. Of course, apples are going to be a big part of my eating this week (the dark red Jonathan variety is my favorite!!), but I knew I had to dispatch the peaches as quickly as possible or they were going to go bad.

Set aside to cool and either use immediately or cover and store in a cool, dark place for up t o 2 weeks. Remove the honey from the heat and pour the honey into a mason jar.
