SUSHI TIME!

I love making homemade sushi!  You can make so many flavor combinations.  Here I combined brown rice sprinkled with seasoned rice vinegar, cucumber, avocado, shrimp, cilantro and carrots.  The sauce is a low-sodium, wheat-free tamari with some chili sesame oil.  Beware of pre-made sushi from the grocery store, they usually use imitation shrimp and crab, which contains wheat flour.

THE FLAVORS OF FALL

FALL FRUIT SALAD

INGREDIENTS:
4 Braeburn apples, core removed and chopped
3 Bosc pears, core removed and chopped
2 Navel oranges, peel trimmed off and chopped
Zest of half an orange
Juice from the orange trimmings
1 c. black walnuts, chopped
1 c. dried cranberries

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all ingredients and toss gently.  Refrigerate for an hour.  Serve immediately - pears tend to soften from the orange juice after 24 hours or more.
