Central and South America

Lying just below Mexico and spanning south across the equator for nearly 5,000 miles down to the tip of Antarctica, Central and South America make up the fourth largest land mass on the planet. Lush rainforests, high desert plateaus, fertile grasslands, rolling plains, and a list of superlatives that includes the world’s highest waterfall, largest river, and longest mountain range (the Andes) make this continent and its connecting Isthmus of Panama a geological superstar.This area is where many of our favorite foods originated, first cultivated in the pre-Columbian era by Peru’s sophisticated Quechua, or Inca civilization, and Mexico’s Mayan Indians. The list is long and colorful, including bananas, chocolate, corn, potatoes, sweet peppers, chile peppers, quinoa, cassava, vanilla, and tomatoes.

Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce

Reviewed on Jul. 9, 2009 by Fit&Healthy Mom 
Good and simple recipe. I made this dish for my husband and kids and they enjoyed it. I omitted the green pepper because I didn't have any and added some fresh basil. Served over whole wheat spaghetti.

Nice combination of fruits. I omitted the honey and added 1/2 scoop of protein supplement strawberry flavor. I also used orange juice instead of promegranate juice because I didn't have any. Thanks Michalynn!
