Without a doubt the best way to eat mulberries is straight from the tree (or from the ground, since mulberries fall down when they are perfectly ripe). If you’d like to make this delicious berry a part of your dessert dish, here’s a simple cake you can whip up a jiffy, if you have soaked nuts and frozen bananas on hand (and a mulberry tree covered in berries somewhere in the neighborhood) ok well maybe it does take a little preparation.

Simple Delicious Guacamole

Recipe Author:

These days my taste buds feel a strong desire for pure tomato juice from heirloom tomatoes. The question arose: What to do with the pulp? I decided to mix it with two small Hass avocados. I squeezed in a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt. The result: an incredible guacamole. I had my two meals: I drank my juice and I ate a bowl of guacamole. I haven't eaten avocados regularly since 2007. Just didn't feel like it. But now I’m feeling the urge to have these two meals every day. I suspect I’ll keep this up as long as I can get fresh homegrown heirloom tomatoes.
