Who's ready for a long weekend?! 🙋♀️I'm not sure if it'll be beach weather here this weekend, but I think I'll replant flowers on my patio. How are you guys enjoying the long weekend? xo - Lisa
Cold and rainy here. I inspected my garden and am now babysitting my granddaughter. Homemade pizza tonight with a new red wine I picked up at a tasting last weekend. Rainy but peaceful. I’m very much looking forward to your cookbook. Have a great weekend!
I’m planting flowers🌸, green beans and carrots 🥕this weekend…along with the usual laundry and house cleaning👍🏻 my husband is working so can’t really take off for anywhere else! Thanks for all the delicious recipe ideas. I can’t wait for your cookbook 🥰 Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Don’t throw out the core. Cut into chunks, freeze, use in smoothies. The core contains bromelain which is great for inflammation, allergies, digestion and more. 🍍 😊
You took the words right out of my mouth... as I watched the video I was saying the same thing and came to the comments to share almost the exact same health benefits of consuming the core. 🍍
Put the core in smoothies or juice it. Throwing it away is a waste. You can also freeze it, partially thaw it, sprinkle it with sugar, and it makes for an amazing summer treat. It's perfectly edible and when frozen then thawed it's way softer and just as flavorful.
The grape slicing trick!!!😳. This is perfect - I’m hosting my Bookclub tomorrow and was planning on fresh fruit so this will make it better !! 😊 Ed: I did make this and it’s amazing what the addition of that dressing does! You don’t really taste it - it just makes it taste like the best fruit salad ever!!!
This is giving me more ideas :) You can add mint to your dressing, you can try persimmons for a fruit with extra sweetness, you can add berry juice for a healthy punch, or prosecco for a fruity sangria!
That is the best grape slicing tip ever! This is a great combination of fruits. Multiple colors & flavors, and no waste as you said the whole thing makes for an excellent smoothie base. Thanks Lisa! Have a great weekend.
When I look at it, the drool doesn't stop. Very refreshing and natural sweetness and freshness are perfect for refreshing! On hot days, you can chill it and add mint. Thank you for sharing.
🐇Yummy! This is so perfect! And I just bought a new beautiful serving bowl. Was wondering what my first dish should be, to put in it, perfect timing. Thank you❣️
We lived in Hawaii for a few years and the best, ripest pineapples are the ones that are the most yellow/golden. Green pineapples will be sour, almost to the point of being bitter! Bring it home and yes, tip it over upside down overnight or at least as long as you can before peeling & slicing. Don't discard that core! Boil it in some water (with or without sugar) and add that "pineapple simple syrup" to ice tea, or use it like I do and home can that pineapple!
Yes, the core makes for great smoothies. Pineapples are good for healthy gums and speedy healing. I also freeze strawberry tops for smoothies. Smoothies are a good way to use the entire fruit (veggie).
I truly regret not living in California........in the next door unit.. Lol. Been watching for years and I’m still amazed at how delicious everything looks, yum!! Will be making this this week
You're so sweet! Good thing all my recipes are easy to make right at home 😊 Hopefully within the next few years, I can meet some Downshifters in real life!
I cut the leaves off of the pineapple, turn it upside down & let it sit on my kitchen counter until it's fragrant. This takes a few days. Then I peel and slice it. I learned this tip in Hawaii.
Growing up we would have fruit salads mixed with peach pie filling, but that honey lime dressing sounds amazing in the salad. Making that dressing this week with my fruit salad.

Wow. Here I am, thinking I knew all about fruit salad. But now... MIND BLOWN, using two lids to cut grapes?! Like why has no one told me that before 😂 And that dressing looks deeelicious😍 Have to try this asap. Is this what it means to be an adult - getting super excited to make a fruit salad?! Well, I love it 😂👏🏽 Thank you for this!!
Delicious. I use fresh orange juice for dressing, too. And sometimes, some coconut flakes to have a more tropical version. :) Ah! And papaya if it's available, as the orange colour is incredibly intense.
Yummy 😋 (as usual) love the trick of the grapes! I use lemon and a bit of sugar but I will try with lime and honey. But mango... I will use banana (one of my favorite fruit) Greetings from Spain Lisa.
@@Downshiftology about the bananas that's why I use the lemon and sometimes orange for the dressings. The idea is to add the bananas the last, just before the lime/juice. I will try the recipe (with the lime as soon as possible) I am a teacher and I finish today. Greetings from Spain.
I believe every one of us is born with a purpose. No matter who you are, what you do, or how far you think you have to go, you have been tapped by a force greater than yourself to step into your God-given calling. -
Thank you!! This looks delicious and I wanna eat it for dessert❤️thanks for tips on cutting fruit too! Newly subscribed, this page is so aesthetically pleasing on the eyes!!
