LYCOPENE!!!! GO out and get it! No it is not the name of a new diet or pill for that matter...it is an antioxident!!!! YAAAAAY!!!
It helps (they believe) fight certain cancers and help promote cardiovascular health. The highest concentration is in all tomato products but especially those that are cooked like tomato sauce and sun-dried tomatoes...do I hear PASTA with SAUCE tonight?!?!? LOL!!!! Other culprits of distinction are:
Guava
red grapefruit
red peppers
Papaya
Watermelon
Red Cabbage
Asparagus & Parsely (yep! and not red!!)

So I foresee a lot of delicious recipes in our future!!!! Have fun cooking!! Challenge: How will you get it in today?

Peace,
WW

    This was a fun challenge today! I had both watermelon and tomato's. I eat tomato's almost everyday, but I got to add watermelon today, that was fun! Surprisingly there is almost no calories in watermelon. It was also a cool treat to have after I exercised because of the cold wateriness of it.
