ahhh...Vacation

I just took a vacation with my mom to a wonderful place called Miraval.  Its a resort in northern Tucson, Arizona.  Its an absolutely beautiful oasis in the middle of the Arizona landscape.

It was a chance to spend time with my mom, detox, exercise, eat healthy and learn and thing or two.  While I was there I not only encountered an Indian shaman, family of owls, and get attacked by a hawk (which I must say was a little traumatic) but got to eat incredibly good, organic, good for you food.  I'm bragging about this awesome vacay because I wanted to share with you the healthy and delicious recipes I've been privy to.  One of the things Miraval offers is called "Cooking with the Chef.  You get to watch the Executive Chef make and teach you how to make a few of their wonderful dishes and ask loads of at the same time. After he makes each dish you get to eat it!  It was almost like being in the audience of a Food TV show.  I also got to take home several of the recipes.  Finally after some digging around I discovered that they post a number of the their recipes on their website!!  So here you go, ladies and gentlemen, the food of a five star resort ready for the making:
