Stir until dissolved. Add fruit Bring to medium boil, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes (until berries are soft). Then I usually turn down to very light boil, or even simmer, for few minutes to get a little thicker. I then turn burner off and it continues to thicken on its own. Can serve cooled down, or can lightly warm up again. Spicy Potato Tacos: Spicy Ranch: Bottle Ranch mixed with Sriracha (more sriracha for more heat!) Potatoes: roughly 7-10 russet potatoes washed and diced add to potatoes (estimates - I don’t measure) 4 tbsp EVOO 3 tbsp paprika 3 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp season salt 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder Mix and bake at 350 for about 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender (depends on the size of the chopped pieces)... stir/flip halfway through. Serve on corn or flour tortilla with toppings of choice.

Mix all diced ingredients. Grind Sea Salt & Black pepper to taste. Juice 1 lemon over all. Drizzle with EVOO. Mix in gently cooled quinoa. Serve cold (best if refrigerated 2 hours or more before serving!) We love alone, on chicken shawarmas or in a pita with hummus! Chow Down & Ciao!
