Peach Apple Celery Chutney!!

I like making chutney, it is very simple and adds huge flavors to even the simplest dish.
I always thought chutney was to sweet or to spicy, but when you look for good quality
made chutney, you have opened a new door of wonderful flavors.
Chutney is not a jam, usually it is thicker pieces of what ever you are making into a chutney.
They can be savory or sweet, fruit or vegetable, and even both combined:)
This recipe has a sweet note from the peach and apple, but the addition of the celery brings it all
together.
You almost get a saltiness from the celery:)
After making this recipe you can experiment with all different flavors!
I like serving it with your favorite vegan cheese:)
You can also serve it on baked tofu, over faux chicken and rice, crackers, etc.
Have fun with it and try new things.
This chutney should be eaten the day you make it!

Peach Apple Celery Chutney
makes almost a 1 cup

1 apple
1 peach
2 stalks of celery
1 Tablespoon of butter + 1 teaspoon
little water
sea salt

Wash fruit and vegetables, chop apple and peach into chunks,
chop celery into 1 inch pieces (approximate)
 In a Small pan melt 1 Tablespoon of butter, add celery cook 1 minute, then add the 1 teaspoon
of butter, apple and peach with a pinch of salt.
If the chutney seems a little dry add a little water
Cook covered 5 to 7 minutes.
Just until fruit is cooked though, not falling apart.
Taste for salt.
Serve cooled or room temperature:)

Savory Creamy Avocado Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

Second smoothie in the series. Everybody thinks smoothie's have to be sweet. Some people don't like sweet things, even if they are fruit. So I came up with a savory smoothie. The high note is avocado with
back round hint of strawberry and blueberry. I like this one if you are adding it to a meal,
because it really fills you up. Avocados have that creamy texture almost like you added a heavy cream.
This one is a go to for a savory treat!!!


Savory Creamy Avocado Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie
Makes about 2 cups

1 avocado
15 strawberries
1/2 cup of blueberries
1 1/2 cup of milk (I used oats milk)
1 Tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice

Wash all fruit and cut the avocado in half, take the seed out, and scoop
out the flesh. Blend all ingredients very well until thick and creamy:)
