This is a refreshing salsa for summertime that I have for lunch sometimes. I usually have it on top of a bed of chopped greens for lunch. It is also good with chicken or fish.

1 1/2 cups diced watermelon, seeded
1/2 diced English cucumber
1 cup diced mango
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

juice of 1 or 2 limes
fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 tsp Himalayan salt

Prep:

I like these a lot. Gluten-free and no carbs. Good in soups (especially tomato soup), salads, and on their own. I tried making these long ago and mine weren't nearly as good as these.

Made this yesterday and it was really good. Made half the recipe.

I used dried herbs instead of fresh rosemary/thyme and I used fresh cilantro instead of parsley.

I threw in a few croutons and they were perfect—they added some crunch to the texture. Will certainly make this again.

Hard-Cooked Eggs in Tomato-Onion Sauce

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 dried chilies, optional
3 sprigs thyme or rosemary
8 eggs
3 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine)
Salt and pepper
Chopped parsley leaves for garnish

Preparation:
Step 1:Put oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet and turn heat to medium. A minute or 2 later, add onions, garlic, chilies if you're using them and herb. Cook, stirring, for a minute or 2, then cover pan and turn heat to medium-low. Cook until onions are very soft but not brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2:Meanwhile, put eggs in cold water to cover. Turn heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover; set a timer for 9 minutes.

Step 3: When onions are done, uncover and turn heat to medium-high. Add tomatoes, a pinch of salt and some pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture bubbles. Cook for about 5 more minutes.

Step 4: When eggs are done, put them in a bowl of ice water, then place under cold running water until they feel cool, then peel. When tomato sauce is ready, add eggs to it; cook an additional 5 minutes or so. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish and serve hot.

I've been wanting to make this ever since you first posted it on the dinner thread. It looks so good! I have all of the ingredients, just need to get around to making it.

I altered this a little, as I usually do. It was delicious.

The GF doesn't like blueberries (!?) so I peeled a Trader Joes flat of fresh peaches, added a little more xanthan gum to thicken the juice than the recipe and I crushed a handful of pecans to mix in with the dough crumble. I also mixed about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with the peaches. I used Erythritol to sweeten the peaches instead of Swerve. I did not use lemon juice or zest.

It took 30 minutes to bubble and brown for me.

Sounds yummy, Jesse.

I make a seasonal salsa, which is slightly different -- but it absolutely divine as a chutney for roasted meat (turkey, chicken, pork loins, or even drizzled over Vanilla sorbet/ice cream).

I make my salsa out of dark violet Italian prunes, mango, pears, green tomatoes, sweet onions, habenero peppers and cinnamon. Roasted cloves of garlic, too and basalmic vinegar. I might even add a pinch or two of coarse sea salt and coconut sugar. It needs to meld at room temperature for half a day, then marinated for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Then, depending on how it appears, I might reduce it to a coarse puree, and then seal it up in jars. Keeping all of it refrigerated, of course. It's very yummy. And the 'heat' of the salsa expands once you begin to consume it with chips, meats or on frozen desserts.

I was finally able to get my hands on a box of Kirkland low carb bars this morning.

I kept reading about them in blogs but never could find them in stock at my local Costcos.

The cookie dough bar is so good but I have not yet tried the chocolate brownie.

There are 20 to a box and I paid $17.99, which is about 90 cents per bar. I really hate Quest bars so am happy to be able to get these.

I have one of the dehydrators loaded with something very similar to the above, except I used a little olive oil, white vinegar, garlic powder, cayenne, a Mediterranean spice blend, and a blend of white cheeses. I used the English cukes. It smells yummy!

Jesse · 10-09-2016, 02:29 PM

OMG! These turned out so good! They have a great crunch! I may have gone a bit overboard with the cayenne though. lol

Next I am going to try a mix of onion & garlic powder with a little sour cream and see how those taste. These take care of my need for crunch and/or chips in a healthy way. I have some beets to do as well, but not sure what seasoning I want to put on them yet. Maybe just sea salt and turmeric.
