Aren't they kind of bitter? I never like frozen fruit as much as I would hope.


Not bitter at all. I buy the mango prefrozen. Blueberries we buy fresh and stick them in the freezer.

I recently fell in love with Indian food (recently as in the last year) and have no idea how I spent so many years convinced I hated it. I love it.

Raspberries. Same deal, I always thought I hated them. It turns out I hate artificially raspberry flavored things but I love fresh raspberries.


Hey, PP, I think I'm that PP that mentioned Major Dickason's coffee. I learned it from an acquaintance who was a chef that had studied at Cordeon Bleu in Paris. She had sampled every brand out there. Also there is some story there--something like the person who came up with that coffee helped with Starbucks blends in some way (I don't remember the story but there is some connection). This was a few years ago so there might be something tastier, but every single person who has my coffee spontaneously comments on how good my coffee is.

i could eat kale salads and sauteed kale all day long. haven't gone so far as having kale smoothies though.


Go for it. Spinach works better, consistency wise, in a smoothie, than kale, though.

Pineapple Habanero sauce/salsa at Costco.. This goes on anything and everything - chips, chicken, rice, vegetables, burritos, etc. Delish!

I've always LOVED beets. Hardly anyone does, though. Cannot understand why.

Almond butter. Been mixing it into my banana shake every morning for a few moths now.

Have you tried frozen grapes? It's just like candy. Very delicious.

I have started making my own pickled beets. Just the lazy man's refrigerator pickles but they are sooo good. I eat them on sandwiches and burgers.


Does pickling kill that iron-y, faintly bloody taste of beets?


You need to cook them before pickling. Cooking brings out the sweetness in beets, so yes!


I think I've only ever had them cooked. Maybe beets just aren't for me. DS2, 4, loves them, however, so I buy the overpriced package at Whole Foods for him.
