sierra_dreamr is spending more meaningful time with friends and doggies
Last night I roasted cherry tomatoes and sliced egg plant with a little olive oil and topped it with red pepper humus a little chicken sausage, oregano and Parmesan cheese. Sooo good and good for me.
I am really trying to limit my meat consumption (environmental footprint and my health) and am pleased whenever I find ways to use meat as a condiment rather than a dish. This one was a great example and tasty!

Has a recipe in her book Raw. It’s for making sesame broccoli using toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds, orange juice, nama shoyu (soy sauce), and I think a little ginger. I used her recipe to make some last night. I steamed the broccoli. It was absolutely delicious and took me just a few minutes to make.

brickhorse has all the swirling plates in the air!
Garden burger, yam, apple, and a peach. I also have nonfat yogurt mixed with raspberry jam sweetened with pear juice. I’m set.

I bought one at Safeway, of all places, plus it was organic. It’s the best cantaloupe I’ve ever eaten in my life. It’s like a totally different fruit from the usual cantaloupes I’ve bought in the past – bland, yucky texture, just icky in general. I saved the Heritage seeds, and plan to plant them next year.

Salad Ingredients:
1 lb. of strawberries
4 cups baby spinach
2 cups other leafy greens (arugula, romaine, red leaf, mache)
½ red onion, diced
1 tbsp. bee pollen (for garnish, optional)
black pepper
Dressing (this makes a lot, but lasts 2-3 days in the fridge):
1 cup soaked cashews (I used a mix of cashews and macadamia nuts)
½ cup spring water or the highest quality water you can find
¼ cup honey, agave nectar, or sweetener of your choice
¼ cup apple-cider vinegar
2 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. mustard powder
1 tbsp. poppy seeds
Dash of himalayan salt
Blend all dressing ingredients except poppy seeds in a blender on high until creamy. Add poppy seeds, and blend on low just to mix them up. Pour dressing over salad and serve immediately.

wbmsic reach out and touch someone
I never really stopped to ask myself why I wanted to do all of this. It was a question that was asked to me in therapy. And I have plenty of reasons, but they’re not MY reasons.
What I do know is that pork chops don’t appeal to me as a simple meal like they did last year. I’d rather toss together a chickpea salad.
And so, I’m giving up on this goal.

I have put buying a dehydrator on hold. They are expensive and ugly.
I have heard you don’t really need them. Without looking for instructions I just decided to try and make my own flax crackers using a tray and setting it in front of the open window in the living room. Will I come home to crackers? Who knows!
There is enough ventilation…but is there enough heat? Will my kitty walk on them?
I’ll see when I get home.

Made almond milk yesterday and the day before. It is so easy I can’t believe I ever bought it in the store.
soak raw almonds overnight in water
rinse
add water to almonds and blend
strain.
Really delicious. Got raw almonds from Trader Joe’s. They were cheaper than the European Raw Almonds sold at the Co-op.
P.S. You can sweeten the almond milk with a few dates or some agave or whatever you have that’s sweet!
I also added some celtic sea salt because I love salt.

I used my spiralizer today to make angel hair pasta noodles out of a cucumber from my garden. It was amazing how fast it transformed the cucumber. I made a salad out of it by adding, a touch of mayo, salt, pepper and cayenne. It was good!
It looked like this photo (this photo is actually zucchini)
