I don’t know why, but I believe that papayas are in season at least by my neck of the woods, because papayas are less expensive now than at any other time. Papayas have antioxidants besides when very ripe they are very sweet and tasteful. Ether way it is wonderful to enjoy a delicious papaya shake. All you need is milk, a very ripe papaya and some kind of sweetener, (a touch of cinnamon) and waa la! Enjoy. It is easy to prepare and delightful in taste. <br />

If you want to cool down in this brutal summer heat. Do it with a tall glass of delicious <b>pineapple aide</b>. It is made with real pineapple so you wont get all those preservatives from the can. In that case it is healthier, and less calories. Best of all it is easily prepared. All you need is a ripe pineapple, water, and sugar to taste. Simple and thrust quencher. <br />

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 raw pineapple pealed and cut into small pieces<br />
2 quarts of water<br />
Sugar to taste<br />
A blender<br />
A coarse strainer<br />
Ice<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Take the pineapple, water and sugar place it in the blender. Until pineapple is fully crushed. Pour through a coarse strainer into a large container. Pour it into a class with ice and there you have it.<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
The raw pineapple can be replaced by a can of crushed pineapple but I prefer not to because of the preservatives that a can contains.<br />

It taste scrumptious and it looks as crispy as if it has been deep fry. This baked fried chicken without frying it is finger liking mmm good!! <br />

My husband and I love seafood and what a better way to incorporate all these marvelous flavors than in a tasteful paella. Paella is a famous Spanish dish with rice, sea food and chicken. What gives the rice a particular delightful seafood taste? It is the saffron. If you are a seafood lover give it a try. I am positive you will love it!<br />
