Cookbook author Robyn Webb says, "When I was a kid, I actually wasn’t a big fan of fresh fruit. But canned mandarin oranges always excited me and I have warm memories of a little cut glass bowl my Mom used to serve the tiny orange segments. I’ve of course expanded my fruit repertoire, but still think mandarin oranges are a great versatile fruit. Here, a simple salsa spiked with tropical coconut pairs well with cumin flavored seared chicken breasts."

"This is my take on a classic apple crumble," says cookbook author and nutrition expert, Katie Cavuto. "But I wanted to pay homage to the natural sweetness of the fruit instead of lobbing on the sugar. Arrowroot powder thickens this whole-fruit filling and fresh ginger, cinnamon, and orange zest lend robust flavors to this treat. And the topping adds more than just crunch; with oats, whole-wheat flour, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and maple syrup, it’s a tasty way to get your nutrients."

We used cheddar and jalapeño bread from the farmer’s market, but assuming you can’t find that, you can use sourdough, challah, French bread, even English muffins."
