"Diana, just a quick heads up to let you know we are still using your cookbook and the guys will often be heard saying what would Diana say about this or that....really good feed back... I made your potato salad and the oriental coleslaw on Sat. for a family luncheon and had rave reviews so thanks again."

How many fruits and vegetables can you pack into one muffin?
I’m on snack duty for soccer this weekend so I made muffins. But not just any muffin. The boys are going to eat half a serving of vegetables and fruit in these moist morsels and a whopping 4 grams of fibre! Now that’s better than any granola bar out there. I added 3 cups pureed pumpkin, 2 cups 100% Premium Pure Tropicana Orange Juice, 3 large bananas, 1 cup apple sauce and 2 cups raisins. That’s 19 servings of vegetables and fruit.
