Food Fabulousness!

We found another great all organic restaurant in Lindon, called Masa's. 

This is a delicious, pineapple mango mint drink, no added sugar, so yummy!

 Delicious shrimp taco and avocado taco.

  Rick didn't love his as much as I loved mine, he got a chile relleno, a pork pibil taco and a grass-fed steak hanger taco.

 I don't know why I am obsessed with taking pictures of my food but I think it's pretty. Eggs, avocado and salsa.

 Golden Milk

• 1 can of coconut plus 1 cup of water OR 3 cups of homemade coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon raw honey
• Pinch of black pepper (increases absorption)
• Tiny piece of fresh, peeled ginger root or ¼ tsp ginger powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.
2. Pour into a small sauce pan and heat for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
3. Drink immediately-I actually added a lot more cinnamon and ginger than it called fro and I used a can of coconut cream as well.

 Lunch!

 I love being home alone in the middle of the day making myself a nice meal and being able to eat it in peace, does this make me a bad mother. 

 Sweet potato fried with pink Himalayan sea salt and dill weed. The sauce is organic sour cream, horseradish, smoked paprika, hot shot, garlic and lime juice. So yummy!

 Kale chips- Lime juice, garlic, hot shot and salad supreme.

Cabbage Crunch

• ½ head red cabbage, chopped finely
• ½ head white cabbage, chopped finely
• ½ red onion, chopped
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• ½ jalapeno pepper, minced (optional)

For the Dressing:

• 1 teaspoon gomasio (ground sesame with salt)
• 1 cup almond butter
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• ½ jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white miso paste* (optional)

Procedure:

1. Mix the cabbage with the chopped onions. Add cilantro and jalapeno.
2. Place all the dressing ingredients into a food processor and blend briefly. Mix into salad mix and serve.
3. I substituted the gomasio for tahini and the almond butter for peanut sauce and added sesame seeds and sliced almonds. This was SOOOO DELICIOUS!

 Juicing-Two carrots, 2 celery stalks, 3 stalks red chard, big handful of kale, one apple one beet, one lemon, one lemon grass stalk, handful of cilantro, 2 big chunks of ginger. the ginger gives it quite a bite, almost covers the taste of the beet.

 The aftermath- my juicer has a leak, but it kind of leaves behind a lovely little masterpiece.

 I eat a lot of eggs and sweet potatoes.  I cook up a bunch of sweet potatoes in the crockpot at the beginning of the week and then I have them ready to go for a couple of weeks. I am not a huge fan of sweet potatoes but I LOVE them with eggs. Add Rick's homemade salsa, arugula and my delicious sour cream mixture and they are fabulous.

I just finished a new batch of kombucha; orange coconut= DISGUSTING, grapefruit, lime=DELICIOUS, and Rick's strawberry=the best I've ever made, or so says he. Of course he said that, last batch. The previous 2 batches were really delicious also, I did pineapple, mango and they were super on point!
