An update on Smoothies and other fine foods

UPDATE  - If you want to really get your freak on, replace the banana in the Smoothie recipe below with half an avocado, as ripe as you can find. You'll want a little more sweet stuff if you go this route, maybe a few drops of Agave nectar. Danny G knows him some Asian cuisine, and he turned me on to the fact that avocado is used in desserts all over that part of the world. It's only us Tex-Mex loving Westerners who decided to use it in savory dishes. As they say, a billion Chinese folks (plus their Thai, Malay, Vietnamese, etc, neighbors) can't be wrong.  Plus, that pit makes a helluva conversation piece at the Testicular Cancer Support Group (it's OK, there's a dude in that group making fun of my missing 13 inches of colon as we speak).

And in case you missed it in the comments, Ghila sent a link to a site that has terrific recipes that happen to align many of the suggestions from the great book Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition by David Servan-Schreiber. Here's the link. http://www.bwell4life.com/bwell4life/Recipe_Index.html

So far I've tried the Salmon Curry Soup, the Quick Chicken Tortilla Soup, and the Quinoa Saute. All easy to make and delish! Tom from work was planning to try the Sweet Potato Pancakes - report please!
