Pear recipes

Make this classic and delicious Korean kimchi with daikon. It's crunchy, a bit spicy and packed with ginger, garlic and all these yummy Asian flavors.

The power of pears is boundless, we’ll spell it out for you. P for Potassium which lowers blood pressure and takes pressure off the cardiovascular system. E for Eyes, the lutein and zeaxanthin help in the reduction of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. A for all the Antioxidants and their anti-carcinogenic activities which are linked to the prevention of some cancers. R for the Red blood cell count improvement because of the copper and iron content. S is for the synthesizing of new tissue in various organs and helps to keep the metabolism working efficiently.

Quiche cups are about the easiest, quickest, most portable paleo dish out there. And I can’t get enough. These bacon, apple, and kale cups are scrumdiddlyumptious, and the pear and ginger ones are pretty good too. I suppose it depends on your palette. Ginger is not my flavor of choice. Lesson learned. These zucchini cups have, oh…3 ingredients. Plus salt and pepper. Plus they’re Portable, Paleo and Parent-approved. It’s a trifecta of Pleasant Perfection (or healthy Progress).

Pear Harlequin recipe

This is the second recipe I'll post tonight--promised it to AH earlier tonight. My mother found this recipe 35 or so years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. For years she only made it at Thanksgiving until I took over the baking reigns in the family; now she makes it more often especially when my brother, Lewis, is going to be in.

Try serving this with softened vanilla or cinnamon ice cream, or with cinnamon whipped cream. To make the latter, whip some heavy cream with a pinch of cinnamon. You can serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Wrap in plastic and keep overnight at room temperature. Or refrigerate for longer storage.

Family physician Dr. Lisa Vincent loves servings up this healthy and delicious soup recipe to her family. Adding a dollop of low-fat yogurt at the end not only helps cool the soup down, but also makes it creamy and delicious.
