If there is one thing I love about living in ski country it’s the fact I can eat more. Way more.
I am always outdoors & active all day. I crave slightly heavier foods to keep me going on the slopes. Even just walking here you get a workout (living at close to 10,000 feet gets the heart a thumpin’!)
This sweet/savory salad fuels me up and gets me from bump runs to kiddo school pick up with great energy…
Ingredients
a few handfuls of Salad Greens
a few strips of crispy Bacon
fresh Pear slices
handful of fresh Blueberries
Salad Dressing (I like Balsamic on this)
Directions
Cook your bacon. Chop it up. Dress salad greens with sliced pear, blueberries and salad dressing.

Simple fruity flavors combine to razzle dazzle your tastebuds with joy!
Sinfully sweet with nothing added but sun ripened raspberries and plump, juicy apples…
Fruitful!
Ingredients
6 Apples, cored, cut into chunky pieces
10 ounces fresh or frozen Raspberries
3/4 cup Water
splash of Lemon Juice
a few pinches ground Cinnamon, Ginger or any spice you like
Optional
Natural Sweetener to taste if needed
Directions
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes until the fruit is nice and tender, Carefully transfer fruit sauce to a blender or food processor. Purée until well combined. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
I do not remove the apple skins. They add great nutrients, flavor and fiber.
Use your favorite apple variety for homemade applesauce. We love Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Gala and Honey Crisp apples. A combo is great too.
Add your favorite natural sweetener to taste of needed. This will depend on the overall sweetness of your fruit.
